LG Neon II Camera Replacement

To gain access to the phone’s speaker, grip the phone firmly in an inverted position with the back of the unit facing up and the LG insignia positioned away from you.

Using both hands as support, use your thumbs to gently guide the rear housing away and in the direction of the arrow.

After removing the phone’s back-panel, securely cushion the front of the phone on a soft surface such as a cloth or your hand.

Gently insert a spudger under the lip of the battery, preferably the lip away from the camera eye.

Gently pry the battery out of its seated position.

To separate the button board/circuit module from the phone main frame, firmly, but gently, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the seven outside 4 mm screws along the rear outside rim of the main body.

Locate the lifted portion of plastic on the bottom end of the phone near the charger.

Slide the plastic opening tool underneath this lip, and gently pry the black plastic cover off.

Loosen the two captive screws on the metal plate near the center of the phone using the Phillips #0 Screwdriver.

Using the plastic opening tool, gently pry the circuit board from the phone.

The partially separated circuit board may be attached to the main button area by factory adhesive/tape. If so, use a soft padded surface to rest the mother board on. Your work area will still be accessible without separating the two units.

Use the spudger to detach the metal rectangle from the keyboard panel.

The phone is now in two halves and the camera is visible.

Using the spudger, gently pry the black cover from around the camera.

Using the plastic opening tool, gently pry under the four metal edges around the camera to loosen it from the phone.

Once the camera is loose it can be removed from the phone and replaced with a new one.
