replacing the camera isn't quite as easy as expressed by many people on the internet. sure, you can pick the glass out of the rear camera lens bezel BUT, if you go the rout of not removing the screen and removing the camera first there are risks that you need to be aware of. If while removing the glass you get glass shard fragments in the focal motor, it can render the camera useless. the proper way of doing this is to remove the screen and then removing the camera and pushing the glass out of the back of the frame. this eliminates any risk of getting glass into the focal motor and getting glass shard fragments on the lens coating.
