D-Link HD Wi-Fi Camera Camera Lens Replacement

Introduction

This guide is going to show how to take apart a D-Link DCS 936L Wi-Fi security camera and remove the camera lens using a Phillips #00 screwdriver and an opening tool. Don't fear! This is fairly simple once you get started. As long as you are careful not to strip the screws, it should only take a few minutes.

What you need

Step 1 Motherboard

Remove the 6.0mm Phillips #00 screws that secure the back cover to the inner frame.
Lift the rear lid upwards using your fingers and separate it from the internal components and motherboard.

Make sure your hands are dry and you are working in a dry area. To prevent damage, do not touch the lens.
There are two Phillips #00 6.0mm screws keeping the camera in place. Remove the screws first.
Gently unplug the camera from the motherboard, and remove the camera.
