Removal

  1. Place the enclosure in the repair tray with the Lightning connector facing the cutout.

  6. Position the ESD-safe tweezers under the top left corner of the top camera flex cable as shown. Then gently lift the end of the top camera flex cable off the connector.

    • Note: One camera flex cable covers the other.

    • Caution: Ensure that you position the ESD-safe tweezers as shown to avoid damaging the top camera flex cable.

    • Caution

      • Ensure that the screw cutouts in the camera cowling align with the screw holes, and the tab is inside the slot in the enclosure. A misaligned cowling may affect display image quality.

      • Ensure that the grounding spring on the camera cowling isn’t damaged. Avoid touching the grounding spring as you reinstall the cowling.
