Introduction
The color filter in front of the camera (under the lens) had come loose.
This resulted in the image partly having a strong green tint.
Teardown of the camera with reattaching the color filter. Many webcams seem to have a similar design, so this guide might be helpful to others.
To replace the lens, perform step 5 instead of step 4.
What you need
-
-
-
Remove cables so nothing gets caught on them later on.
-
Loosen the two circled screws to remove the motherboard from the housing.
-
-
-
-
Loosen the two marked screws to remove the lense mount
-
The second image shows the mount without the lens on the front. Image for illustrative purposes only.

-
-
Place the color filter (shown as shimmering red and transparent in the picture) back in its intended position. I've also applied a little extra glue to the corners, but this isn't absolutely necessary.
-
ATTENTION: Any dirt will be visible in the camera image!
-
The second picture shows the camera.
-
The webcam can now be reassembled.

-
I unnecessarily removed the lens. In case someone needs to replace it:
-
First, unscrew the silver ring. This is glued to the actual lens, but can be easily removed.
-
The lens itself is also slightly glued and can be unscrewed.
-
During reassembly, I recommend connecting the camera to a computer to see when the image is sharp.
