What you need

1. Step 1 Remove the grounding sticker
  Use a pair of angled tweezers to gently peel up the black grounding sticker covering the back of the camera.
  
  Check the replacement camera. If it doesn't have a grounding sticker, set the sticker aside carefully so you can put it on the new camera later.

2. Step 2 Disconnect the camera
  Place the flat end of a spudger between the camera ribbon cable and the top button ribbon cable, against the camera press connector.
  
  While holding the top button ribbon cable down with the spudger, twist the spudger to disconnect the rear camera press connector.

4. Step 3 Remove the camera
  Use a spudger to break the glue dots near the top-left and bottom-right corners of the camera.
  
  These glue dots are small and hard to see. If the camera doesn't pry up easily in the next step, look for more glue dots.

5. Step 4
  Use the point of a spudger to pry the camera up from the top-left corner.
  
  The camera is adhered to the iPad. Apply slow, firm pressure to give it time to release.
  
  Once the camera is free, grab it by the ribbon cable and remove it.
