Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

The Lenovo Ideapad C340 or Flex 14 API has a problem with failing webcams. This happens especially when the notebook is used on the go a lot.

If your webcam suddenly fails and can be revived by flicking or tapping on the case near the webcam you probably have a loose connection and the webcam board must be reseated.

    • With the cover removed you will find 4 screws to be removed (red circles) as well as two strips of adhesive (green rectangles) you have to pull.

    • After unscrewing the four screws use a pair of tweezers to pull on the tabs of the rubber adhesive strips.

    • Be patient while pulling and avoid ripping off the adhesive strips!

    • After removing the adhesive strip you can see that the webcam is divided into 3 logical units:

    • The first board (green rectangle) houses the indicator LED as well as the microphone. The second board (blue rectangle) is just the webcam with the part no. 01HW045. The smallest (red rectangle) seems to be a light sensor board

    • The boards are just glued into place and can easily be pryed out.

    • The connectors between the boards especially the ribbon cable (green rectangle) lose connection over time. This is why problems occur.

    • To fix just reseat all connectors carefully!

    • If you bought a webcam replacement just connect all cables as they were before.

    • I used duct tape to create a stronger bond between the components.

Conclusione

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

You might use double sided tape to glue the display back to its frame.
