Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Front-Facing Camera Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

1 hour

Introduction

For the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S, model SM-W700NZKAXAR, it is important for the front-facing camera to be functional and not broken. The front-facing camera allows to take pictures with the front side of the tablet. Thus, the ability to capture real-time memories is lost without the front-facing camera.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the back of the tablet by prying the plastic back using a flat tool.
When the tool has been inserted under the back, slide it all the way around the tablet to fully unclip it.

Step 2

Once the back has been removed, disconnect all cables using a pair of tweezers to avoid damaging any components.
Once the cables have been disconnected, remove the battery using a flat plastic tool (not the metal spudger).

Step 3

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the motherboard.
Remove the metal plate once the screws are gone and the motherboard will be ready to be replaced.

Step 4

Remove motherboard by prying it up with a flat plastic opening tool (not metal spudger).
Be sure that all components have been disconnected beforehand, especially the front-facing camera (located above the motherboard in the top center of the frame).
