Introduction

We are currently living in unprecedented times where technology and remote communication is more important than ever. Webcams have almost become a must-have for everyday life, mostly for students. Many people always look for the cheaper and more affordable option, which sometimes isn’t the most sustainable choice. This guide is here to help you with just that.

The Anivia 1080p Webcam is a great and affordable option; however, it can come with small, but easily fixable, errors. This guide will show you how to repair a loose connecter that can cause a flickering display and a spotty image.

You will only need four items for this fix: solder, a soldering iron, a screwdriver, and a wedging tool.

With this guide, you can have your webcam up and running in a matter of minutes so you can get back to work or school quickly, saving you the time you would spend waiting for a new webcam to arrive!
