Introduction

If your Dell Inspiron 910 web camera isn’t showing a clear image, or no image at all, you may have a malfunctioning camera. Follow these steps to replace your web camera.

This guide requires a plastic opening tool, and both a phillips and flathead screwdriver to follow.

  1. BmxHPZWJ6pHDaH52
    • Using a plastic opening tool, pry the front silver bezel away from the colored plastic shell.

  2. FjEiQy2WTpQqtPmJ
    • Unscrew the two screws using a Phillips #00 screwdriver from the metal casing that retains the screen.

  3. BxuIDjoewfHiqayP
    • Pull down the laptop's back, keeping the screen upright, held in place by two metal strips going along its sides.

    • Unscrew the 4 screws from the two strips.

    • While unscrewing the second side, make sure to hold the screen so that it doesn't fall when the screws are removed.

  4. GNJw6DqM3MTcep4P
    • Gently lay the screen down, being careful not to damage the ribbon connector.

  5. D5AICE1UT2brEocW
    • Disconnect the cord connecting the screen to the rest of the laptop. The cable will be affixed to the screen using tape, so it can be safely removed. The actual cord connection is at the circuit board.

  6. NiREqjlyke5yyRt1
    • Pull the screen out. Congratulations! You have removed the screen.

  7. eDKxpfavOXlRm2WN
    • Remove the two small screws above the screen at the center of the lid.

  8. Zij25htchDWAF5BT
    • Insert the replacement webcam module so the two screws match up with the two holes in the module.

  9. 5ZyRhAUmEoToZBHa
    • Replace and tighten the two screws so that the module is held in place.

  10. CfLedPvKYILBJCgN
    • Carefully connect the ribbon cable running along the back of the screen to the appropriate docking station in the webcam module.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
