Step 5

  • The white rectangle with the yellow square is the flash and it covers the tether section where the camera is. Gently lift up and disconnect flash module.
  • Now the camera connection point is clearly in view. With a calm pressure, pry the camera module off the board. Realign your new camera module and re-apply pressure to the original point it was disconnected from.
  • Once this is in place and in the square section it once was, align the connection point of the flash module you removed back to the connection hole, push it down firmly until it is snug in place. Follow the steps backwards to put phone back together.
