Introduction
If you have damaged your Galaxy Tab S3's camera sensor or image stabilization, you will need to replace the camera module. This guide will show you how to properly remove and replace the cameras on the rear of the device.
If you notice that the camera lens is scratched, you will need to replace either the display assembly (front camera) or the rear glass panel (rear camera). A scratch on the camera's outer lens does not constitute damage to the module itself.
What you need
-
-
To soften the adhesive holding the tablet together, heat up the edges of the glass panel using a heated iOpener on the edge of the device. Alternatively you can use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive.
-
Leave the iOpener on edge for two minutes.
-
-
-
As you continue along the edge using the opening tool, use a plastic card to keep the glass separate from the midframe.
-
-
-
Repeat steps 3 through 7 to remove the rear glass panel on the opposite side of the device.
-
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to unscrew the five screws securing the battery, and the twenty-two screws surrounding the midframe.
-
-
-
Flip over the device, and carefully push the Rear Camera out of its framing using the spudger.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. If you have removed too much adhesive, you may need to apply more during the reassembly process.
