LG G2 Sprint Rear Facing Camera Replacement
Almost the entire phone must be disassembled for camera repair, so carefully set aside all removed screws and components for future use.
Step 1 | Charger Port
Use a plastic opening tool to pry open your phone case.
- Flip the phone over and slide the tool between the two sides of the case, working towards the bottom.
- Pry the case open gently but consistently until you feel the clip release.
Be careful when releasing the top left corner clip as it can be difficult to disengage.
Step 2
Remove the outer phone case.
- Prepare two Phillips head bits: J0 and J000.
- Use the J0 bits to remove the 11 silver screws.
- Use the J000 bit to remove the small black screw.
Step 3
Ensure all screws and clips are removed before proceeding.
- Use a plastic opening tool to release the clip on the upper left side of the upper panel.
- Pry the ribbons carefully off the board with a plastic opening tool.
If the panels do not separate easily, recheck screw removal and ribbon connections.
Step 4
If the panel resists removal, check that all screws are removed.
- Pry back the bottom inside panel with care.
- If it does not come off easily, inspect for any remaining screws.
Step 5
Careful handling is required to avoid damage to delicate components.
- Release the indicated clips by gently prying them away from their mounting points.
- Identify the marked circuits, taking care not to disrupt any attached wires or ribbons.
- When disconnecting cables, use your tools to target the connectors only, avoiding damage to the wire itself.
Step 6
Locate and release the clips and circuits shown in the provided images.
- Be cautious not to damage any attached ribbon or wires during disassembly.
Bend the orange materials along the dotted line labeled "bend" to avoid creases and stress points.
Step 7
Disconnect all ribbon and antennae connections.
- Pry the board up gently from the bottom of the case.
- Slide the board back out.
Make sure all ribbon connectors are removed from the board before proceeding.
Step 8 | Rear Camera
Use a plastic prying tool to gently pry the rear facing camera away from its adhesive attachment.
Always employ an ESD-safe tool when handling sensitive components like the camera.
