Apples iPhone mobiles are becoming a benchmark for amazing cameras. But as good as they are, the cameras are not indestructible. So, if you need to replace the rear-facing camera on your iPhone 13, here is a guide to help you out.
This guide will easily help you gather all the necessary tools with elaborate steps you cannot find elsewhere.
Tools Needed:
- A heat gun or hair dryer
- A suction cup
- A plastic opening tool
- A Phillips screwdriver
- A spudger
- An iPhone rear-facing camera replacement
Step1
- The pantelope screws on the bottom of your iPhone need to be removed to take the back cover off your iPhone 13 and access the rear-facing camera.
- Once you have unscrewed those, use the suction cup to pull up on the display assembly a little bit so you can insert the plastic opening tool under the display assembly and begin prying it up.
- Please ensure you heat the back of the display assembly with a heat gun or hair dryer before you begin prying so the adhesive holding it is melted and easier to remove.
Warning: If your screen gets cracked during the process or was already broken, apply some tape, so the shards of glass do not cut you.
Step 2
- Now that you have pried up the display assembly insert the spudger under the battery connector to disconnect it.
- Unscrew the battery and display connector coverings using the Phillips screwdriver. Underneath the cover, you will see some cables that need to be disconnected.
- There will be one battery cable and a display cable. Make sure to use a plastic tool to disconnect them, so you do not damage the connectors.
Step3
- Unscrew the front sensor connector cover with the Phillips screwdriver and disconnect the front sensor cable.
- Remove the three screws next to the Lightning connector using the Phillips screwdriver, and then remove the bracket holding the rear-facing camera in place. Underneath it, you have to disconnect the sensor cables.
- Now you can remove the screen.
Step4
- Unscrew the camera cover holding the camera. There will be three screws, two on the sides and one in the middle.
Step5
- Once you remove the cover, disconnect its cable from the logic board.
- Remove the old camera from the bracket.
Step6
- To install the new rear-facing camera, connect its cable to the logic board and screw the camera cover back on.
- Reattach the bracket holding the rear-facing camera in place and screw it in.
- Reconnect all the cables you disconnected in the previous steps in the reverse order.
Congratulations, you have now successfully replaced the rear-facing camera in your iPhone 13!
