Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Power Off
  • Be sure that your BLU R2 Plus is completely powered off and has less than 25% battery left. This will lower the chance of your battery catching fire and your logic board/motherboard shorting out.

Step 6

              Rear-Facing Camera Removal
  • Use a spudger to unclip the ribbon cable from the motherboard/logic board. Carefully use blunt tweezers or angled tweezers to pull the ribbon cable out of the socket. Then use the tweezers to wiggle the camera out of its socket.
  • Be very careful not to break the ribbon cable as it’s very fragile. This doesn’t really matter if you’re taking the camera out as it’s already broken.
