Disconnect the battery from the motherboard by unplugging the red, white, and black wires from the white adapter.

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the lens by lifting the black latch and gently pulling the ribbon cable from the socket.

Step 5

Use a Phillips screwdriver (PH000) to remove the four screws around the white plastic piece.
