Netgear Arlo 2 Camera HD Security System Camera/Lens Replacement

Introducción

This guide will explain the process of removing and replacing the internal camera of the device. This is one of 3 guides that will handle electrical connections so it is best to be very gentle when doing so. To best use this guide the Phillips 00 screwdriver is recommended. The Phillips 000 or 0 may work as well, please note that the smaller the screwdriver the higher chances of stripping the screw. It is also recommended to have a plastic opening tool (blue) to gently pull the device apart and a bowl or container to keep the small and easily lost screws in.

Unscrew the four 4.0 mm Phillips #00 screws on either side of the transparent case.
Separate the transparent half of the case from the white half.
Only separate the two halves enough for them to be apart. The flat ribbon cable is short and its connection is delicate.

Paso 7

Lift the small thin black rectangular latch that covers the connectors of the flat ribbon cable.
The latch is very flat, so use a finger nail or a spudger to lift it. Do not use any sharp edge like a knife as it will likely damage the device!
With the latch lifted, the cable will pull away freely as you separate the white half from the transparent half.

Unscrew the six black 3.0 mm Phillips #00 screws that hold the black motherboard on.

Be sure that the transparent case or the black motherboard are being held or resting on a surface so that neither falls when the clip is released.
