hey guys its john here from infohut again. the tutorial
the tutorial is on an iphone 7 and 7 plus
rear camera lense replacement
in the description below i have a link on where
to find a replacement lense and of course the tools i use
so to get started you use a heatgun or hairdryer
and just apply heat
around and you will have to constantly do this
then find something sharp like a stanley (xacto) knife
or a sharp blade
remember to reapply heat over time
every 30 seconds keep applying the heat
now as you can see i am getting a small screw driver
and moving around and just breaking
the glass more. Now I don't want to push it too deep
i want to stick to the edges the reason i want to do that
is to ensure that i dont damage
the rear camera underneath, so
you just want to stick with the edges and eventually
once you do put a
you know a certain amount of pressure underneath (the glass) to push it up
it should slowly lift up
fairly easy like that. remember keep the heat
there with the heat gun
and ensure you move slowly around there
as you can see when you touch underneath
that where the camera is, the camera is more so
in the middle. If there is glass that falls there
dont worry you can blow that out later
just dont put any pressure on there (with your fingers or tools)
so now once you have removed the glass off, you need to remove the old adhesive off
this is really easy it comes off.. you know
fairly simply if you just keep moving around
and you can use a blade or as i
have used a small screw driver (and tweezers)
once again dont worry if there is
debris going in the middle or
you know bit of broken glass
we will clean that out eventually
blow that out with
air. Try NOT to rub anything on there (while there is debris there)
now as you can see I'm just using tweezers
to take off a bit of the adhesive
and I'll eventually lift it up &
give it a bit of a shake (dust off)
so the debris can fall with gravity
now that most of it's out
I can get a cotton tip and make sure the lense is clean
once again you just want to make sure that
there is nothing over the actual lense
now we get our replacement
rear lense (where to purchase is in the link below)
shows where you can purchase really cheap
& you can
use a gel based adhesive
any type of contact adhesive
(gel based) you really want to use
it's not really the
importance of it sticking down
once the lense is secured in there it will stick well
but more so you want to find, instead of using
instead of using a super glue, a glue that has
a bit of flex and elasticity
a gel type glue. i have put a link at the bottom of the glue I use
from amazon what I do use
& you can use that. By all means
a lot of household glue is suitable
but just remember it has to have a bit of flex
& doesnt need to seal too hard, so now we get our replacement lense
and we just slowly put that over (with tweezers. Just avoid getting finger prints on it)
& secure it in by pressing down
obviously you want to let it set & this glue (adhesive)
within 15 minutes it will set
& you will be on your way to using your phone
now I am using a cotton tip to clean
up any excess glue and thats all done
so thank you again, please subscribe
