    • Na parte inferior da WebCam, remova os adesivos nos dois lados

    If you remove the rubber stickers and don’t see any screws underneath, it’s because there are actually two layers of stickers. The top sticker is the rubber that you can see, and underneath it is a plastic sticker. Sometimes they come away together, sometimes you will need to pry away the plastic sticker after first removing the rubber.

    The screw may be easily removed with appropriate screwdriver.

    The dimensions must be match! PH1 I think…

    Renanzinho, se usou a chave incorreta pode ser que tenha danificado a cabeça do parafuso. Para mim, foi super fácil a remoção desses parafusos. Use a chave tipo PH1.

    Removing the side covers was the most difficult part of this procedure. The covers did not want to release so it took a lot of prying with a small screwdriver to get them to release. The side opposite the hole were stuck and it took quite a bit of force to get that side released. Logitech should have had release holes on both sides of the covers.

    Don - 답글

    Don , did you press the holes to unlock the side covers?

    Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta -

    Yes I did but, the only movement I saw was very little. I had to pry under the outer edge of the opposite side to get it to fully release. No real problem other than the first time one does this it takes a while to figure out the details.

    Don - 답글

    Best screwdriver bit for all the screws is PH00

    Jérôme Pirotte - 답글

    This step definitely doesn't work as described. A very small standard screwdriver pushed into the hole behind the tab will very slightly pry the side of the speaker mount out. At the same time, use a second standard screwdriver inserted in the side to pry it out slightly so it doesn't lock back into place. Then there is a second tab at the top side that has to be levered free. On the side you just opened, move your screwdriver from the bottom to the top and carefully lever it out, and it will pop free. Then get your fingers under the side that is freed and pull forward.

    tkircher - 답글

    This is a very good description on how to get the side pieces open:

    "Then there is a second tab at the top side that has to be levered free. On the side you just opened, move your screwdriver from the bottom to the top and carefully lever it out, and it will pop free."

    This helped me get it open easily. Thank you!

    Tkircher, 35 people have successfully performed this procedure. I don't think you read this - "Press holes to unlock side covers."

    Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta - 답글

    tkirtcher read it, and they are correct. Your instructions are decent, but very unclear on this step. The covers don't just come off just like that when you "press holes." You have to know how they are going to come off - they don't just slide off the sides like your picture implies - and there is a bit of prying involved AFTER you press the holes to "unlock" the side covers.

    "35 people have successfully performed this procedure" maybe. But at least 34 of them didn't comment on this forum the missing details of the process, without which one could very much feel as if they are about to break the device.. Thankfully, tkircher helped out.

    And thank you for posting the guide. Consider being less snarky to people who post details you ignored to help others.

    Shane Heroux -

    like the above, I had issue even with "Press holes to unlock side covers"
    that only releases the bottom, you'll also need to pry from the opposite side like Don suggested to get it to release

    The inner four of these screws can sometimes be extremely tight. They will easily strip if you are unable to get them to turn. I had one screw that I was unable to remove so I had to break that screw fixture on the clear plastic cover. Once you can remove the clear plastic you no longer need to worry about these screws. If they are stuck they will just stay in the black plastic support as they only hold down the clear plastic.

    The strength of a thousand locomotives will not allow you to remove the side covers even if unclipped. Be prepared to break either the side covers or your fingers.

    michaldobrzynski - 답글

    Michal, of course, you must gently unlatch the side covers to remove them!

    For me, it was easy…

    Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta - 답글

    Jose:

    I am 6 foot 3 with large strong hands to match. In the end, it took channel locks gripping the correct screwdriver to get the leverage to make the first few turns.

    The next time I get a flat, I would like to call on you to lift the care while I change the wheel.

    For those who come after us, prepare to use deadly force on these four small screws.

    My camera is working so the only thing I wanted to do was to get to the lens itself to see if cleaning it would correct the washed-out image I am seeing. So, to release only the main front glass cover on the camera you only need to remove the four inside screws. That will give you access to the lens itself for cleaning, if necessary. However, I now can see that the lens itself on my camera is not clear. It looks kind of milky. Wiping it does not change the milkiness of the lens. So, it look like there is nothing I can do to correct the issue. I have two of these cameras that have the same milkiness on the lens. I’m guessing it’s time to get two new cameras although I hate to have to spend $$$$ to replace them…

    BE VERY CAREFUL not to apply too much force when trying to remove this header. The socket will easily come away from the PCB and then you will need to solder it back on again. Mine was extremely tight and separated from the PCB.

    Is it a PH 1.25 or PH 2.0 connector? thanks.

    Please put this warning loud and clear. My socket came loose from the print, and I can not solder it again...

    Disconnect the USB cable connector. Be very careful. Hold the socket with a plyer, and then pull out the plug.

    Or even, do not pull the plug out, just cut the wires, and solder the wires ....

    Does anyone know of any place to purchase a replacement lens assembly for the C920 HD camera? My lens has been damaged by solar UV rays and is all cloudy which deteriorates the quality of my images. It looks like replacement of the lens assembly would be relatively easy as I can only see two screws holding it in place. However unfortunately, the image shown for the backside of the pc board has a piece of paper covering the area where lens may have some connections so it.

    Don - 답글

    The lens is easily removed without taking anything apart other than the two side panels and the clear glass cover piece and then very carefully turning in CCW (counter clock-wise). I would suggest using a pair of small tweezers and gently rotating the lens. Try not to move the lens around too much or you will damage the focusing mechanism. Now, I need to find a resource where I can purchase a replacement lens.

    Is the silver one the shield of usb cable or something else?

    Abdiel Adams - 답글

    The aluminum foil is also a shield.

    Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta - 답글

    How did you find the break, or did you just assume and replace most of the cable with a spare?

    Andrew4D - 답글

    Usually the cable breaks where it can be bent. I cut a piece of the cable near the device and did the continuity tests with a multimeter, to prove that the cable was ok at that point.

    Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta -

    I replaced the whole cable and left a piece of the old silver shield wire on the pcb so I could then solder the new shield wire and wrap with heat shrink. The other point is that old cable had an integral rubber gland but the new one doesn't. Tried a very small cable-tie but that gets in the way of seating the pcb so will add some glue in the cable hole. Works a treat.

Dojo, Use the correct screw driver. So easy to unscrew.

If you have damaged the screw head, you can use pliers. You will need to replace the damaged screws.

Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta -

They’re quite tight screws on the ones I’ve worked on . Super, super soft metal too, very easy to strip out.

Catherine Mateo -

All of the screws used in this camera for the two side covers and the main cover glass (steps 1 through 3) can be loosened with a Phillips #0 screw driver. I don’t know about the other internal screws as I haven’t gone that far in the process. Mine were not super tight so they came out quite easily.

pankaj meshram - 답글

Pankaj, you must measure continuity of wires of cable with multimeter.

Jose Gustavo Abreu Murta -

In my case, I was replacing the damaged cable with a new cable I ordered from eBay. That requires de-soldering the black wire on the PCB and soldering the new one in place. Those who venture into that task should know that (a) the solder tab on the replacement cable is extremely delicate, so it is important to fully remove the old solder with a solder-sucker to put the tab in place, and (b) the newly-soldered wire must be oriented parallel to the camera, because otherwise, it will mechanically interfere with re-assembly. Great guide though! THANKS!

Valeu amigo! Meu gato mastigou quase todo o cabo dessa câmera, criando curto circuito desativando todos os outros dispositivos USB conectados no PC. Ainda bem que tudo voutou a funcionar ao desconectar a câmera... (não sei como não queimou a placa mãe :p), então precisava trocar todo o cabo pelo menos com outro USB que não uso mais, e quase cheguei a quebrar a tampa superioir pensando que era tudo lacrado com travas sem parafusos, mas os parafusos estavam lá né, escondidos abaixo daquelas borrachinhas...hehe

Belo tutorial, consegui soldar tudo direitinho perto do conector (já que era a única parte que não estava danificada) quase igual ao que você mostrou aqui usando tubinhos e tudo e agora tá tudo funcionando sem problemas. Obrigado mesmo! : )

David_Br - 답글

The disassembly guide is great; I agree that soldering the ground cable on a replacement cable (from Amazon) requires care, to heat and remove the old cable, remove the old solder with a solder sucker, and/or desoldering copper mesh. Be careful because the circuit board lands are on top and bottom of the board. A circuit board vise is a big help.

PUT THE CABLE THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE BODY BEFORE YOU SOLDER!

There are three or four types/sizes of screws. I wish I would have documented what I took out as I went along. I was able to reassemble by guesswork. Everything is a tad loose. If I did it again, I would tape each group to a piece of paper and label as you go along.

You need a professional technician's screwdriver "0" or you will have problems.

You may find the cable, $11.95, soldering and desoldering gear $13-$20 for hobbyist grade, circuit board vise or equivalent, and professional screwdriver are about equal to the cost of a replacement camera. But then, you would not have learned anything or had fun.

ivan - 답글

Ivan,

A basic rule of thumb when disassembling appliances is to separate screws by type and size. I have a plastic box with several separations, especially for this use.

And save the assembly sequence. The photos in this guide may help you.
