    • During reassembly:

    • Make sure the lens spacing matches the spacing indicator. This allows the indicator peg to sit correctly in its notch.

    • If the lens spacing doesn't match the indicator, manually adjust the lens with your fingers.

    • During reassembly, the face sensor cable can be tricky to connect. Follow these tips to connect the cable:

    • Thread your fingers through the eyepiece trim’s eyeholes and grasp the edges of the sensor cable.

    • Slide the sensor cable into the socket until the first set of tabs rests in the socket. This should flip the lock tab down partially.

    • Use a spudger to press the lock tab down towards the cable to lock it in place.

Conclusion

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

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
