Dell Inspiron 11 i3147 Camera Replacement

Introduction

If you wish to replace your Dell Inspiron 11 i3147 Camera for any reason, use this guide for step-by-step instructions.

Before beginning, make sure the malfunction is not caused by a system-level setting for your built-in webcam that has turned off the camera, and that there is no obstruction causing distortion or clarity issues on the camera lens.

Safety first! Remember to unplug and turn off your device before opening the back cover.

For steps 7, 10, and 13 inspect the connection between the device and the plugged-in component to check if a lose connection may be the cause of the camera malfunction.
