Introduction

This is a step-by-step guide to replace the front camera of your Abask J05 dashcam.

The camera captures at 30 FPS at 1080p with a 170° wide angle design. Its function is to capture video footage while the owner is driving in order to provide reliable evidence in cases such as car crashes. If your device's recordings are obscured, distorted, or blank, it may be in need of replacement. Before replacing any components of your device, be sure to check the troubleshooting guide, as there may be reasons your camera isn't functioning that don't require replacement.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. (Note: When doing the steps in reverse order, do not do Step 5. Instead, place the front face of the device back on the main body before lining up the endcap, ensuring proper orientation with the SD card slot, and push in until you hear all four snap joints snap into place.)
