Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Camera Replacement

To access the internal components, such as the camera, we need to flip the phone with the screen facing down. Once this is done remove the battery.

Remove eight 5mm screws as shown in the image. Use a T-6 bit.

Using a case opener, start on the bottom right side of the phone and undo clips located at the interior sides. Repeat this step for the left side.

Once the clips are undone the back casing should dislocate and reveal the internal components of the phone. Camera location is identified on the image.

To remove the internal case surrounding the camera, apply pressure on the left side of internal casing and using a flat head screw driver unlatch both clips on the right side of casing. Once lifted detach ribbon cable with flat head screwdriver.

Once the interior casing is removed, dislocate the hardware by unlatching clip at shown location.

To remove damaged camera flip hardware so the lens of the camera is facing downwards and remove ribbon cable connecting camera to hardware.

Once camera is removed, insert new functional camera part and reassemble
