iPhone X Rear-Facing Cameras Replacement

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

Remove the two 6.9 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.

Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.

Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.

Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.

Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.

Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.

Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

Insert an opening pick at the bottom edge when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

Skip the next two steps.

If using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the curved portion of the glass.

Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.

Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick around the top corner of the display, while gently pulling or wiggling the display down in the direction of the Lightning port.

Slide the pick to the opposite corner and cut any remaining adhesive securing the display.

Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Remove five Y000 screws securing the logic board connector bracket, of the following lengths:

Three 1.1 mm screws

One 3.1 mm screw

One 3.7 mm screw

Remove the bracket.

Use the point of a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Bend the connector slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.

Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector.

Use the point of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the OLED panel cable connector.

Use the point of a spudger to pry the digitizer cable connector up from its socket.

Carefully lift the cable until the adhesive separates.

Remove the display assembly.

Remove two Phillips screws securing the camera bracket, of the following lengths:

One 2.3 mm screw

One 2.0 mm screw

Use tweezers to gently fold the small metal grounding bracket out of the way. Do not pull up on it as it is connected to a fragile flex cable.

Lift the camera bracket from the edge closest to the battery, and remove it.

Use an opening tool or fingernail to disconnect the two camera connectors by prying them straight up from their sockets.

Press the point of a spudger against a small notch on the bottom right corner of the camera module.

Gently pry up to lever the camera out of the iPhone.

Remove the rear-facing camera module.
