🔧 Repair Overview
Camera Repair is one of the most common repairs for Samsung Galaxy S10. This repair involves replacing the damaged optics component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 30 min - 1 hour and requires moderate skill level.

Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Heating up the frying pan
Heat up the frying pan to approximately 60°C
Step 2: Heat up the glass
Put the phone on the frying pan with the camera facing down. Press down on the screen where the camera is so no other part of the phone is touching the frying pan. Do this for one minute.
Step 3: Remove the glass
Put the phone on a soft surface and use your "jimmy" to lift part of the glass away. Just keep going until all glass is removed.
Step 4: Prepare the adhesive
Make sure the adhesive doesn't cover up the cameras or the light.
Step 5: Put the adhesive on
Start with putting the adhesive on the new glass and then put the glass in it's right spot, press down so the adhesive really sticks.
