Introduction
Replace your broken or nonfunctional front-facing camera with this guide. The plastic plates covering both the motherboard and the daughterboard each have skinny and fragile arms on them. Be careful not to break them.
What you need
-
-
Be sure that your BLU R2 Plus is completely powered off and has less than 25% battery left. This will lower the chance of your battery catching fire and your logic board/motherboard shorting out.
-
-
-
Insert your pick in the top left-hand corner where the little indent is.
-
Slide the pick all the way around the phone until the back cover is loose and ready to be released.
-
-
-
-
On both sides of the battery, use an opening pick to peel up the edge of the sticker covering the battery shield in order to expose the screws securing the plastic plating.
-
-
-
Use tape to hold back the battery sticker so it's easier to unscrew the plates.
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 9 screws from the upper plastic plate.
-
-
-
Use an opening pick to unclip the upper plastic plate from the phone.
-
Once unclipped, slide it up and out of the phone.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to unclip the ribbon cable from the motherboard/logic board. Carefully use blunt tweezers or angled tweezers to pull the ribbon cable out of the socket. Then use the tweezers to wiggle the camera out of its socket.
