Introduction

The MSI apache pro comes equipped with a 30 fps 720p camera. Due to age, usage, or damages such as closing the screen too hard will cause the camera to go bad. The camera is a modular device making this guide a quick plug and play. In this guide I will show you how to preplace the webcam on the MSI Apache Pro 004 laptop.

Tools

Parts

Step 1

Start with the bottom of the laptop facing up.

Step 2

Remove the 15 screws from the bottom of the laptop with a PH1 screwdriver.
Remove the bottom plate by pulling away from laptop
Keep track of all the screws and which slot they came from, as they slightly differ. We recommend this system: lay out on a piece of paper and pretending the paper is the device. Place the screws on the paper approximately where they would go

Step 3

Remove the screw holding down the battery with a PH1 screwdriver.
Pull out the battery.

Step 4

Flip over the laptop and open it.

Step 5

Slide a metal opener tool along the outside edges of the front screen panel to start to separate it from the back screen panel.
You may need to apply some firm pressure to get it started.

Step 6

Once it has started to separate, gently pull off the screen panel by working along the edge, and set it aside.
Do not force off. Front screen panel is thing and can break or crack very easily.
