Before You Begin

Warning

Read Battery Safety and follow workspace and battery handling guidelines before you begin.

Caution

This procedure requires System Configuration. After you’ve completed all removal and reassembly steps, learn how to initiate the System Configuration process at support.apple.com/self-service-repair.

Removal

1. Place the enclosure in the repair tray with the Lightning connector facing the cutout.

2. Use a torque driver and the Micro stix bit to remove the four trilobe screws from the camera cowling. Hold the camera cowling in place as you remove the center screw. Set aside the screws.

   

3. Use a torque driver and the JCIS bit to remove the crosshead screw from the camera cowling. Set aside the screw.

   

4. Use ESD-safe tweezers to tilt up the camera cowling from the left side (1). Then slide the cowling tabs out of the slots on the right side of the enclosure (2). Save the cowling for reassembly.

   • Caution: Avoid the grounding spring on the camera cowling.

   

5. Use ESD-safe tweezers to lift the ends of the two camera flex cables off the connectors.

   

6. Gently hold the camera flex cables together (1) and lift the cameras out of the enclosure (2).

   

Reassembly

1. Put on the gloves to prevent contamination of the camera lenses. Then hold the replacement cameras with the lenses facedown and remove the protective cover from the camera lenses.

2. Tilt the bottom edge of the cameras down and toward the battery as shown. Ensure that the camera flex cables are inside the channel between the battery and the camera well.

   

3. Position the cameras in the enclosure.

4. Press the ends of the two camera flex cables to the connectors.

   

5. Lightly press the cameras into the enclosure.

6. The camera cowling has tabs that fit into slots on the right side of the enclosure. Hold the cowling with ESD-safe tweezers and slide the cowling tabs into the slots. Then lower the cowling onto the cameras.

   • Caution

     • Ensure that the screw cutouts in the camera cowling align with the screw holes and that the tabs are inside the slots in the enclosure. A misaligned camera cowling may affect display image quality.

     • Ensure that the grounding spring on the camera cowling isn’t damaged. Avoid touching the grounding spring as you reinstall the cowling.

7. Hold the camera cowling in place with your finger. Then use the black torque driver and Micro stix bit to install one new trilobe screw (923-06266) into the middle of the cowling (1).

8. Use the black torque driver and Micro stix bit to install three new trilobe screws (923-06268) (2-4) into the camera cowling.

9. Use the gray torque driver and JCIS bit to install one new crosshead screw (923-06267) into the camera cowling (5).

Caution

After you’ve completed all removal and reassembly steps, learn how to initiate the System Configuration process at support.apple.com/self-service-repair.

During System Configuration, you will perform LiDAR Scanner calibration. Prepare for calibration by reviewing the following steps:

1. Use a well-lit area containing objects of different shapes and sizes.

2. Sit or stand 4 feet from the objects.

3. Hold the device vertically and rest your elbow on your body to help stabilize your arm.

4. Start scanning by slowly panning back and forth to the left and right of the starting point. Follow the directions that appear on the device screen.

Note: The calibration process takes approximately 5 minutes.
