Use this guide to replace or remove the rear-facing camera in your Samsung Galaxy S8 Active.
This guide involves removing the back cover of the device, so you will need replacement adhesive to reattach the back cover to the phone.
Before disassembling your device, be sure the battery is charged below 25%. If accidentally punctured or damaged, the battery can catch fire and/or explode; if discharged below 25%, the chances of fire/explosion is decreased.

I need a rear facing camera for my samsung galaxy s8 active. Sm-g892a. Do you sell the camera or do you know where I can buy a new one?
So I took this apart and either the camera is shot itself (unsure how to determine) or is it possible a ripped finger print scanner ribbon could somehow disable the camera from working? I can't imagine so but I was curious and wanted to ask since your site has helped me TONS on repairs at home. Thanks!
