Samsung Captivate Camera Assembly Replacement

Remove the back cover by pressing on the bottom section of the phone and sliding the bottom piece downward.

Lift up the back cover.

Place your finger on the bottom of the battery and lift to remove.

Replace the old battery with the new one.

Insert the spudger underneath the bottom section of the phone.

Gently lift and push the spudger to slide the bottom section down to reveal two hidden screws.

Remove the six 4.5mm #000 Phillips screws.

Starting at a bottom corner, use the spudger to separate the rear case from the front display.

Move the spudger towards the top on both sides. The plastic opening tool is easier to use for this step.

Separate the rear case from the phone.

Use the spudger tool to pry up the chip labeled "NEC." This releases the chip.
