Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Camera
- Remove the four 5.5 mm Phillips #00 screws that hold the lower canopy to the upper canopy.
- Gently pull the lower canopy up and towards the back of the drone. The lower canopy will still be attached to the upper canopy by 3 wires. Just set the lower canopy aside and continue with the repair.
- Be very careful when pulling the lower canopy apart from the upper canopy. There are 3 wires that will still be attached between the lower and upper canopies.

Step 3
- Use a spudger to gently pry around the outside edge of the camera to remove the camera from its mounting hole.
- Be careful when removing the camera from its mounting hole as there is a small ribbon wire that connects it to the computer.
- The camera and computer assembly will now be free to move. Move the lower canopy out of the way for now.

Step 4
- Use the flat side of the spudger and push the 2 tabs on either side of the camera connection on the computer and push the tabs towards the front of the drone (away from the computer).
- Make sure both tabs are all the way out otherwise the ribbon wire for the camera will not be free and you can damage the wire by pulling on it.
