    • Very carefully remove the inner lens cover by pulling it outwards.

    • The microphone is glued on the inner lens cover and connected via a ribbon cable to the board. If the lens cover is pulled too hard the microphone ribbon cable can break, rendering the microphone of the camera useless. Pull the lens cover very carefully.

    • Disconnect the ribbon cable of the microphone from the board carefully using a pair of tweezers.

    • When disconnecting ribbon cables, always pull the end of the cable, the connector, and never pull the cable itself. Ribbon cables, especially small ones like this are very fragile.

    • Remove the 3x #000 Philips screws that hold the lens in place.

    • Then, carefully pull the old lens out.

    • Then follow this step in reverse to install the new lens. Put the lens in place and then screw the 3 screws again.

    • Avoid touching the replacement lens. It's a good idea to clean the new lens with a microfiber cloth before putting it in place to remove any fingerprints or dust.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
