  16. MacBook Unibody Model A1278 iSight Camera Replacement, Front Display Glass: adım 15, 2 resimden 1. MacBook Unibody Model A1278 iSight Camera Replacement, Front Display Glass: adım 15, 2 resimden 2.

    • In the following steps, you will use a heat gun to soften the adhesive securing the outer black border around the underside of the front glass panel to the display. The area the adhesive is applied to is shown in red in the second picture.

    • With the heat gun set to low, start by heating the outer black border near the upper right corner of the glass panel.

    • Always aim the heat gun away from the soft rubber strip around the display glass. Heating the rubber will cause it to melt slightly, turning its finish from matte to glossy. Touching overheated rubber can cause it to permanently deform.

    • Due to the heat applied, it is normal for a layer of condensation to develop on the inside of the glass panel and/or the outside of the LCD. It can be removed with glass cleaner once the glass is separated from the display.

    • With the panel sufficiently heated, fasten a heavy-duty suction cup near the upper right corner of the display glass.

    • Don't fasten the suction cup on top of the rubber strip around the edge of the display glass.

    • Slowly and gently pull the corner of the display glass up off the display assembly.

    • If only the top edge of the glass lifts up (as seen in the third picture), repeat steps one and two until you can lift up the corner of the panel.

    • During the glass removal process, the AirPort & iSight data cable may stick to the adhesive on the glass panel, disconnecting it from the camera board as the panel is lifted. If your AirPort & iSight data cable is still connected to the camera board, skip this step.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the ZIF cable retainer on the AirPort & iSight data cable socket.

Step 28: It is very difficult to see which way to try and flip up the retaining flap.

it's from the end opposite from where the cable inserts (where the tip of the spudger is pointing in the picture), there is little room to fit anything in there unless you have some very long, thin nails. I cut a piece of plastic from some packaging and used it to flip the little bugger up. Hope this helps anyone else out there blessed with poor eyesight.

Not well documented procedure at all. The camera / photos were far too small for such a delicate job, not to mention disconnecting the ribbon cables at the end of the process. 6 out of 10.
