SHIFT6m - Replacing the main camera

1. Turn off your device by holding down the power button until the “Power off” option appears.
2. Use your finger to confirm that you want to shut down your SHIFT6m and wait until the screen goes blank.

The backcover of the SHIFT6m is not glued or screwed and can be removed without tools.

However, you can also use a plectrum to loosen the clips along the entire edge.

1. Use a plectrum or a fingernail to slide it into the small recess in the bottom left corner and pull up the backcover.
2. Then gradually loosen all clips all around. The back cover is hooked again around the fingerprint sensor. There you have to pull a little harder to loosen the backcover.

You can easily remove the battery by lifting it by the notch in the lower right corner and removing it from the device.

The display is attached to the entire frame with many screws of the same length. On two screws there can be a small white sticker.

1. Loosen all screws with a Torx T3 screwdriver.
2. Then turn the SHIFT6m over and slide a plectrum or your fingernail between the plastic frame and the display.
3. Slide around the entire display once to gradually release it.

The display is connected to the motherboard with a long flex cable.

You can also keep the display connected for the following steps. In our case, we also disconnect the display connector from our device to prevent accidental damage to the flex cable during the repair process.

1. Carefully fold the display down and place it on the frame.
2. Loosen the two screws on the cover plate above the display contact.
3. Then you can carefully loosen the plug of the display with a plastic spudger and finally put the display aside.

• Camera Connector

We have removed the mainboard from our device. But you don't have to do that to replace the camera.

1. Carefully loosen the connector of the main camera with the Supdger.
2. Take out the camera and remove the tape so you can attach it to the new camera right away.

• Camera Connector

1. Place the new camera in the opening of the motherboard.
2. Connect the connector.
3. Attach the tape that fixes the camera to the motherboard.

• 16 × 4,0 mm Torx T3

1. Place the display on the frame and position the display connector over its contact on the motherboard.
2. Carefully push the connector down.

The connector should engage directly with a slight click. If this does not work immediately, do not try to push the connector down with force. Reposition the connector and try again.

1. Put on the silver cover and screw it in place.
2. Flip the display over and press it all around until it sits correctly in the frame.
3. Then reinstall all screws.

Put the battery back in its place.

Put the back cover back on.

1. The back cover has clips on the edge and around the opening of the fingerprint sensor.
2. Press the backcover everywhere until it fits properly.
