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. Put on the gloves to prevent contamination of the camera lenses.

3. Use a torque driver and the Micro stix bit to remove the five trilobe screws (1) from the camera cowling. Set aside the screws.

4. Use a torque driver and the JCIS bit to remove the crosshead screw from the camera cowling (2). Set aside the screw.

   

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

   

6. Position the ESD-safe tweezers under the top left corner of the top camera flex cable as shown. Then gently lift the end of the top camera flex cable off the connector.

   • Note: One camera flex cable covers the other.

   • Caution: Ensure that you position the ESD-safe tweezers as shown to avoid damaging the top camera flex cable.

   

7. Position the ESD-safe tweezers under the bottom left corner of the bottom camera flex cable as shown. Then gently lift the end of the bottom camera flex cable off the connector.

   • Caution: Ensure that you position the ESD-safe tweezers as shown to avoid damaging the bottom camera flex cable.

   

8. Gently hold the camera flex cables together and lift the camera out of the enclosure.

   

Reassembly

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

2. Hold the camera flex cables together. Then position the camera in the enclosure.

   

3. Press the end of the bottom camera flex cable to the connector.

4. Press the end of the top camera flex cable to the connector.

5. Lightly press the camera into the enclosure.

6. The camera cowling has a tab that fits into a slot under the lip on the right side of the enclosure. Hold the cowling with ESD-safe tweezers and slide the cowling tab into the slot. Then lower the cowling onto the camera.

   • Caution

     • Ensure that the screw cutouts in the camera cowling align with the screw holes, and the tab is inside the slot in the enclosure. A misaligned 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. Use the black torque driver and Micro stix bit to install four new trilobe screws (923-08160) (1) into the camera cowling.

8. Use the teal torque driver and JCIS bit to install one crosshead screw (923-08375) (2) into the camera cowling.

9. Use the green torque driver and Micro stix bit to install one new Micro stix screw (923-08376) (3) into the camera cowling.

   

Reinstall the following part to complete reassembly:

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.
