Introduction

If your entire HTC Desire 826 screen is cracked, then you will need to replace the entire front glass, not just the camera. If your HTC Desire 826 camera is black when you try opening the app, try to restart the device and update it to its latest version. If neither of these fix the issue, refer to the guide for a full replacement.

This guide details how to replace your HTC Desire 826 front camera in a step-by-step instruction. If your front camera becomes damaged or stops working, this guide will ensure that you have the instruction needed to replace it.

Before beginning, make sure your device is completely powered off to avoid any damage.

Tools

Step 1

Find a seam in the back of the device.
Insert the plastic spudger into the seam and pry off the back panel.
There will be glue, so keep prying until it comes off or you may need to heat up the edges of the device to loosen the adhesive with the iOpener.

Step 2

Remove the 4.0 mm screw above the battery with a T5 Torx screwdriver.
Remove the metal bracket with the tweezers.

Step 3

Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard with the tweezers.

Step 4

Lift the battery with a plastic spudger and remove it from the device.

Step 5

Use the T5 screwdriver to remove the three 4.0 mm screws as shown.
Once the screws are removed, pry up the top plastic panel using the black nylon spudger.
