Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 minutes

Introduction

If your front and or rear cameras have stopped taking clear picutres, it may be necessary to replace them. If that is the case, this guide will help you do that.

Tools

Step 1

Make sure that your phone is turned off before proceeding
Use an opening pick, your thumbnail, or a spudger to gently pry off the external casing

Step 2

Locate the SIM card tray on the back of the phone
Use your thumb to gently slide out the tray

Step 4

Find and carefully remove all 6 rubber screw covers with the tweezers.
Unscrew all 18 screws from the mid frame.

Be carefull the rubber screw covers bounce away and you won't find them.

Step 5

Carefully pry up the mid frame from the back of the phone with the plastic opening tools.
Slowly work your way around the phone releasing all the clips that hold the frame in place.

Step 6

Using the spudger tool, pry the battery up from the adhesive.
Once the battery is loose from the adhesive holding it down, use the spudger tool to pry up the connection from the battery to the phone on the top right hand side.

The battery connection was under a black tape in my phone. Remove the tape strip first.

Removing the battery was really difficult. I had to apply a lot of force. You think something is going to break, but it eventually comes loose.

Followed the procedure and all worked as expected. Thanks for this tutorial.

Step 7

Use the spudger tool to pry off the connections at the bottom-right of the front-facing camera.
Be sure to disconnect both connections before attempting to lift off the wiring.

Step 8

Use the spudger tool to pry off the connection on the left of the front facing camera.

Step 9

Use the tweezers to lift up the camera from its groove.
The camera has a long, flat portion at the bottom, so be sure to slide the camera up while lifting it up.

Step 10

Use a spudger to pry off the connection below the front-facing camera.
Using the tweezers, carefully remove the camera from its groove.

Conclusion

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

This is awesome guide. My 20 days old onePlus2 lens broke, when my pocket hit the table while I had the phone in there. After reading in the forum about the OnePlus customer service, I did not bother calling OnePlus. I ordered the lens for $5 from parts4repair.com. Followed this awesome directions and replaced the lens without a glitch.

BIG BIG BIG KUDOS to Kayla Williams. This really saved me a lot of time and trouble and made my phone worth again. I can't thank you enough.

This is a really good guide. My 2 month old one plus 2 was denied service due to some water damage policy. A drop of sweat might have gone in and the service centre says the product is water damaged.

Can you help me with some website where I can find the back camera for one plus 2 please?

Hey guys! My OPT fell off a rollercoaster and fortunatly the glass isn't broken at all, but my front camera is damaged. This guide helped me a lot but I can't find that part.

Sadly parts4repair has no front camera lens in its sortiment. Can you give me some websites where I can find the parts
