Introduzione
If your LG Grace smartphone, model # LGL59BL, isn't taking clear images through the rear camera anymore, you may use this guide to replace the component. The rear camera is responsible for the majority of the photos you take with your phone and is almost always the higher fidelity camera on you device, making a malfunctioning one particularly frustrating. The specific way in which your camera is malfunctioning may vary, but following the troubleshooting wiki for this device will help you narrow down your possibilities.
Please note that this guide requires the removal of the phone's battery, and while this is a trivial task with this particular model, if your battery is swollen and stuck then prying at is could potentially cause it to rupture and explode. Please power off your device and take it to a repair professional or someone else trained in safely disposing of the malfunctioning battery. As a general rule of thumb, always turn off any device you are working on.
All-in-all this is a relatively simple replacement and requires no special skills, so if your camera has gone out don't be intimidated by the prospect of the repair. The component is also available for relatively cheap, so this repair may be the best financial option for you if the camera is all that needs to be repaired on your LG Grace.
