I followed the instructions to replace the lens. However, the camera will not work. Error message says Warning Camera Failed. What went wrong?

The instructions are fine, as far as they go, which isn’t nearly far enough. A much more thorough tutorial - with several key steps that are missing from these instructions, can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpExoJua…. I wouldn’t have been able to complete the installation correctly without this helpful video.
