    • I unnecessarily removed the lens. In case someone needs to replace it:

    • First, unscrew the silver ring. This is glued to the actual lens, but can be easily removed.

    • The lens itself is also slightly glued and can be unscrewed.

    • During reassembly, I recommend connecting the camera to a computer to see when the image is sharp.

Follow the steps in reverse order to reassemble your device.
