Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Rear Case
- With your fingers, carefully pry off the back plastic casing. Starting at the corners is usually the easiest.
- The rear-facing camera seems to fit a little too snugly in its compartment on the rear case; so make sure that it stays connected to the motherboard.

I could not get the clip back onto the board. Is it just to hold down the connector or is there some heatsinking going on?
