Introdução

You can use this guide to replace the rear-facing camera in the Toshiba Excite 7 tablet. You may need this repair if the camera won’t open, won’t take photos/video, or produces blurry or unusable images after basic troubleshooting (clean the lens and restart the tablet).

The rear-facing camera is the module that captures photos and video from the back of the tablet. This replacement requires opening the rear cover, disconnecting the battery, and removing the circuit board to access the camera connector.

Before you begin, power off the tablet. Disconnect the battery as soon as it’s accessible, and handle the ribbon cables carefully to avoid tearing the connectors. No soldering is required, but this repair is best for users who are comfortable with small screws and delicate cable locks.

    • Remove the five screws from the battery.

    My Excite 7 does not have screws as shown. There is a strip of tape on the top on each edge. Nothing else holds the battery.

    P/N of the unit is PDA0MU-001005. The parts layout is significantly different from what you show.

    Installed new battery; device is still dead. Looks like off to the recycling bin.
