OnePlus Nord N200 Front-Facing Camera Replacement

Replace the suction cup with a Jimmy due to its inability to adhere to the rear glass's surface.

• Insert the Jimmy into the gap between the rear glass and midframe at the bottom edge of the phone.

This process may require some force, as the adhesive can be stubborn.

• Leave the Jimmy in place for a few seconds to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Insert an iFixit opening pick into the gap.

• Jimmy around phone, slicing adhesive.
• Insert second iFixit opening pick in sliced area to keep it open.

• Use an iFixit opening pick to slice the adhesive along the top edge of the phone.
• Pry the back plate away from the phone, starting at one edge.

Remove the back cover.

Look carefully for the hidden orange circle screw.

• Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the sixteen 3.6 mm-long screws securing the midframe.

Insert Jimmy carefully to separate midframe from top components.

• Guide opening pick along midframe's edge to cut adhesive.
• Use Jimmy to pry off the phone's midframe.

Finish prying open the midframe with your hands.

• Be cautious when removing the back tray as the fingerprint reader cable may still be connected.

• Risk of damage to the fingerprint reader cable if not handled carefully.

• Pull the midframe off and set it aside next to the phone.

Insert a spudger under the fingerprint cable connector and gently pry it straight up.

• Reposition the fingerprint reader cable to one side along with the midframe.

• Use a spudger or opening pick to pry under the battery connector's edge.
