Introduction

On a tablet, an effective front facing camera is necessary because it allows you to capture clear pictures and videos. If your Matsunichi MarquisPad MP977 tablet front facing camera takes blurry or distorted photos or if the lens is cracked, you may need to replace it. This guide provides step-by-step instructions and accompanying images to swap it out. These instructions require no special skills to complete, but the parts are delicate, so handle with care to prevent damage to the tablet. Disconnect and power off your device before beginning. When you've completed the steps, you should be able to take photos and record videos again.
