Introduction
This guide is to replace the rear facing camera. This guide is for 12 MP ( f1.8, 1.25um pixel), 5 MP depth sensor, LED flash, and PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) parts of the Motorola Moto G7 camera.
Before following this guide, make sure the phone is powered all the way off and is unplugged from any external chargers, headphones, etc. Gather the suggested tools and a new Motorola G7 camera.
What you need
Step 1
Screen
- Use the iFixit opening tools to gently wedge the front screen from the rest of the device.
- Try to focus on the corners to make it easier to insert and use the iFixit opening picks.
- It is also recommended to use the iOpener or a heat gun to weaken the adhesive that holds the edges of the screen down.
- The screen is glass, so when using force to lift the screen, be cautious of cracked glass and stray shards of glass coming off.
- You have to be extra careful to dig deep enough, so you lift the entire screen unit!
