Levitating camera on my Fairphone 1!

My Problem

The Camera was broken on my Fairphone.

My Fix

This guide worked very well. There was only one problem: My camera was glued on the screen-part, and was very hard to remove. Since it was completely broken: the lenses, plastic rings and other parts were flying around, it was a bit confusing and messy. I first had to remove the cable connection of the camera and motherboard before being able to remove the motherboard. Then I removed the camera with a sharp knife from the plate. But the phone is now working again.

My Advice

In the first edition Fairphone, you might need to detach the camera cable first, before removing the motherboard.
