Introduction
The front-facing camera is used for taking "selfies" and other pictures that the photographer will be in. If you consider yourself an avid Snapchatter or Instagramer, then it is essential to have an operating front-facing camera. The camera can be accessed without removing the motherboard and its attached to the motherboard by a clip. It can be replaced by lightly pulling on the camera to unlatch the clip.
