you got your success plus to take and
enjoy all those beautiful pictures but
now your eyesight camera is on the fritz
don't worry coz today I'm gonna show you
how to replace the iSight camera in your
iPhone 6s plus
hi I'm Gwendolyn with iFixit and for
this repair you're going to need a P two
pentalobe screwdriver a small suction
cup a spudger tweezers a Philips
double-0 screwdriver and plastic opening
tools I already have the majority of the
tools I need in my pro tect tool kit and
I also have my magnetic mat it helps
keep screws organized and I never do a
repair without it so let's get started
when you do your repair be sure to
follow the step by step guide on
ifixit.com not only does it walk you
through the complete repair but you can
also see comments and notes from other
users who have followed it which is
really cool and very helpful onto the
repair every time you do a repair you
want to make sure your device is off and
once you've done that you can start by
removing the two pentalobe screws at the
bottom of the phone with those screws
out I'm ready to open my phone for the
past few iPhones we've used the ice
Clack but due to the construction of
this device we've found a better option
we need a few tools for this a suction
cup a spudger and a little patience
let's start by placing the suction cup
in the bottom left of the display right
above the home bus
you should also note that there's a thin
strip of adhesive around the back of the
display and while you don't have to
replace it you may notice the force
touch panel doesn't stay quite so
planted down without it while still
pulling up on the suction cup insert the
flat tip of the smudger into the gap
directly above the headphone jack
now you can twist the spudger to widen
the gap between the front panel and the
rear case we're going to use this budget
just like this around the bottom left
corner all the way to the top and then
we're gonna start over on the bottom
right corner and move to the top again
open the iPhone by lifting the home
button end of the display assembly away
from the rear case using the top end of
the phone as a hinge don't open the
display more than 90 degrees it's still
connected to the top of the phone by the
displayed digitizer and the front camera
cables which can tear easily now let's
disconnect the battery before we go any
further so we're sure there's absolutely
no power to the phone first we need to
remove the two Phillips screws holding
the bracket in place and once the
bracket is out of our way we can
disconnect the battery with our spudger
make sure to bend the connector back a
little so it doesn't make contact and
power the iPhone while you're working on
it with the phone open and the power
completely disconnected we're now going
to work on removing the front panel from
the phone to get it completely off we're
going to need to disconnect all the
cables connecting it to the logic board
and before we get to those we're going
to have to remove the cable bracket
which is screwed in place by five
Phillips screws make sure you use an
organizational tool for keeping track of
your screws they're incredibly small and
can vanish easily they also need to go
back into the right place so they don't
damage the logic board and there are all
those cables to disconnect them I'm
going to use the flat end of my spudger
start with the front facing camera and
sensor cable connector then the display
data cable connector
and finally the digitizer cable
connector we don't have to move too far
for our next step the iSight camera is
right where we left off with the display
connectors we're going to start by
peeling up any tape covering the camera
bracket screws now we can get to both
the Phillips screws holding the bracket
in place and lift the bracket out of the
phone next we're going to use the flat
end of our spudger to disconnect the
camera cable and then slide the spudger
on the side of its housing to gently pry
the camera out finally we can lift the
camera out of the phone for reassembly
