Verizon Nexus - Camera Repair

[tamccain]

My wife has a Galaxy Nexus. Yesterday she noticed that the rear camera will not focus at all. She doesn't really know what happened to it, so anyway I need to fix it. I have looked in several places and I cannot find a replacement part that is specifically for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I did find this part Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 Back Camera - Parts4repair.Com - but I don't know if it will work in the Verizon version. Anyone know if this will work?

I would say they are the same camera but i've not compared the two in person, 99% certain they are the same. Here is a teardown of the verizon GNEX and the camera module looks exactly like the one from the link you posted.
Cracking Open the Samsung Galaxy Nexus: 5MP Rear-facing camera | 32 of 64

For $20 I think it is worth the shot. Also replacing the camera will fix the non-focus issue.


Got any other questions just let me know!
