My Problem

For some reason my rear camera would not work. Just blacked out like a satelite feed in West Virginia in a rain storm. Every now in then it would work for 1 second but then fade away.

My Fix

As the title says this task was dom-a-hated. Obliterated. I cracked this phone open like a cardiothoracic surgeon repairing a 100% clotted left anterior descending coronary artery if you know what I mean. Sure, one good sneeze and these screws would be on the floor. And chances are you won't find these screws while spending 45 min on the kitchen floor with your cheek on the tile, army crawling around like some type of giant slug. This did not happen to me but because my repair process went smoothly I had to pump up my story. I took 8 shots of espresso just to amp up the challenge.

My Advice

Don't be a baby about crackin that $650 phone open and fixing it yourself. It will be a fraction of the price that a repair shop would cost. And I would rather throw hot tea on my face before dealing with Apple or the "geniuses". These phones are built pretty simply and organization is the key. DON'T BE A BABY.....no one likes babies.
