iPad Mini CDMA Front Facing Camera Cable Replacement

Use a pair of tweezers to peel up and remove the small piece of tape covering the front-facing camera cable connector.

The front-facing camera cable connector is secured with pieces of tape that wrap up around the sides of the cable and are fastened to two small metal plates.

In the next two steps, you will be prying the two metal plates up and out from the center of the cable.

Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the lower metal plate up from the front-facing camera cable connector.

Being careful not to break the plate or the tape attached to it, pry it up and fold it away from the front-facing camera cable connector.

Gently pry the second metal plate up from the front-facing camera cable connector.

Again, carefully pry the plate up and away from the front-facing camera cable connector.

Use a plastic opening tool to pry the front-facing camera cable's connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Use a pair of tweezers to peel up the top of the rectangular piece of tape covering the bend in the front-facing camera cable.

Bend the tape up out of the way of the front-facing camera cable.

Gently fold the front-facing camera cable upwards (roughly at a 90-degree angle), exposing the bottom side of it.

While holding the front-facing camera cable up, use the tip of a spudger to separate the piece of tape adhered to the bottom side of the corner of the cable.
