  1. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Prepare Camera: paso 1, imagen 1 de 1
    • Remove the power cord and set the camera firmly on your table.

    • This step requires significant force, and has a chance of damaging your device. It takes around 10-minutes of creating gaps and prying to get it off. Perform at your own risk!

    • If confused with this step, please watch the video to see how it was performed.

    • Carefully insert an iFixit "Jimmy" Tool (flat flexible steel blade) between the hard white plastic housing and edge of the LED light ring.

    • Pry the "Jimmy" tool slightly sideways and insert an iFixit "Metal Spudger" into the gap created. Slide it down inside the housing around half an inch.

    • Use the metal spudger to pry carefully slowly working your way in a circle around the LED Light ring to attempt to slowly work it backwards out of the housing.

    • There is glue holding down the led light ring, so it might take some decent force to pry it, (see third photo).

    • The LED Ring is sealed in place tightly using a rubber gasket, (see photo in next step).

    • Verify all connectors are unplugged before continuing with this guide.

    • Take care prying as there are three ribbon cables attached to the led light ring. Two for microphones, and one for the status LED. They are connected at the Camera Module and the components are lightly attached using some double-sided tape to the LED Light Ring.

    • Remove each of the four screws securing the plastic ring that is holding down the camera module.

    • Pull the camera module upwards, and remove the black ring from around it by pulling it upward and over the camera module.

    • Be careful not to knock into the metal wifi "fins" that stick up right next to where the black plastic ring sits. If things feel stuck, pause and verify it is not caught up.

    • Reminders

    • 4 x 4.5(?)mm Torx T5 screws

    • Lift the camera module up and out of the housing.

    • Using your fingernail pull down on the black portion of the ZIF connector to flip it into the down position.

    • Slide the LED ribbon cable out of the ZIF connector.

    • You should not have to use ANY force at all to remove the ribbon cable. If you find yourself using force, pause and verify you have flipped down the ZIF connector properly.

  10. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Unplug speaker connector: paso 10, imagen 1 de 2 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Unplug speaker connector: paso 10, imagen 2 de 2
    • Unplug the speaker connector next to the power connector by gripping it with metal tweezers and gently pulling directly upward.

  11. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Lift Power Transfer Pad: paso 11, imagen 1 de 2 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Lift Power Transfer Pad: paso 11, imagen 2 de 2
    • Using the flat spudger slide it under the power transfer pad to separate the glue holding the pad down.

  13. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Speaker Module Screws: paso 13, imagen 1 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Speaker Module Screws: paso 13, imagen 2 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Speaker Module Screws: paso 13, imagen 3 de 3
    • The spring that is under this module is quite powerful. While removing screws you must press down with significant force in order to remove the screws. If you do not hold down the module, it will be much more difficult to remove the screws.

    • Remove the three screws holding down the speaker module.

    • Screws Used

    • 3 x Torx T9 4.5(?)mm Screws

    • Lift the Speaker Module and Spring out of the case, threading the power cable down through the middle.

    • Because this was a dead unit being disassembled there is water damage on the bottom of this speaker module.

  15. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Board Screws: paso 15, imagen 1 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Board Screws: paso 15, imagen 2 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Board Screws: paso 15, imagen 3 de 3
    • Bend/move the power cable to the side and remove each of the two screws holding down the Power Board.

    • Screws Used

    • 2 x Torx T5 3(?)mm screws

    • Performing Step 16 first can make this step easier.

  16. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Cord Housing: paso 16, imagen 1 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Cord Housing: paso 16, imagen 2 de 3 Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly, Remove Power Cord Housing: paso 16, imagen 3 de 3
    • Using a pair of metal tweezers push on the two pink rubber bits on the top of the power cord housing and push downwards to slide the power cord out of the housing.

    • The power connector has a pretty tight fit at the top of the power cord housing, take care when trying to push the power connector through.

    • Using a heat gun melt the glue holding down the power board. The glue is placed directly under where the previous two screws were removed.

    • Using a thin tool (ideally a Male USB-C connector affixed to a rod) press out the power module. I do use the thinnest flathead screwdriver here to push on it, however this will likely damage the connector.

    • If attempting board level repair on the power board, use extreme care and caution pushing out the power board to prevent damaging the connector.

    • There is a thick slightly soft black goo covering a majority of the power board. It holds down the metal shield very tightly. It is unknown how to remove this black "goo", please leave a comment if you can get it off cleanly!

  18. Nest IQ Outdoor Camera Module Disassembly: paso 18, imagen 1 de 1
    • Remove the final two screws to release the base ball joint from the inside of the housing.

    • Screws Used

    • 2 x Torx T5 3(?)mm screws

    • You are now done disassembling the unit to the module level! Check out the other guides (coming soon) to see how to break down the modules further.

Conclusión

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

The Camera module and LED Ring should first be connected together with the microphones and status LED properly glued to the back of the LED Ring and the connectors are attached to the camera module.

When “re-sealing” the camera the Camera LED Ring combo assembly should be attached to the ribbon cables, then pressed/snapped down into place (into the black plastic ring with clips that hold down the camera module).

my power board has water damage. I'm trying to remove the board and direct wire it. any suggestions?

Mike Noerper - Contestar

My power board also has water damage! Did you have any luck repairing yours? Cheers

If I cannot repair my power adapter, I'm considering parting mine out as there seems to be zero parts available.
