Do you offer the cable that runs from the camera to the tablet motherboard or the front facing camera with cable?
The tool and suction does not work for me. The adhesive is too strong.

It’s so easy to crack the screen here. I recommend using heat to soften the bond and avoid cracking the screen. Ideally a heating pad ($$$), but a heat gun or hair dryer also does the trick. I’ve seen a temperature range of 80-90 C (matching specs from a heating pad). I heated a pizza stone to temperature to make a homemade heating pad. That worked to soften the adhesive here.

The adhesive is very strong, and they are not just at the edge. Some of them a little further inside, and be careful not to cut the speak grill.
