Introduction
These are the instructions on how to remove and replace a broken or malfunctioning camera lens from a HTC Desire 626s smart phone. Once you remove the top layer of the back plate (step 1), you can skip straight to the lens replacement portion of this guide.
-
-
Insert plastic opening tool in between the back cover and grey plastic.
-
Gently work your way around the phone while sliding the tool.
-
Gently pry on plastic cover as needed to release fasteners.
-
-
-
There are 7 screws you need to remove before prying the secondary cover off. You will need to use the JIS #000 screwdriver and the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove these screws.
-
There is a screw under the "void" sticker.
-
-
-
Once the screws are removed, use the plastic opening tool to remove the remaining plastic cover.
-
Start from the corners of the phone, and insert the plastic opening tool between the outer colored rim and the screen.
-
This portion of the cover will be more difficult to remove than the initial back cover. Be patient and gentle around the button holes.
-
-
-
Use one end of the tweezers to slip underneath one of the edges of the lens.
-
If the lens is already cracked you don't need to worry about being gentle with it, because the intention is to replace it.
-
-
-
There is adhesive holding the lens in place. Try not to scrape this up too bad because it will be used to hold the replacement lens in place.
-
Congrats you're done!
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
