Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 Webcam and Microphone Module Replacement

简介

Follow this guide to replace the webcam and microphone module in your Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 laptop.

Some signs of a faulty webcam and microphone include error messages that the camera/mic is not enabled or cannot be found, or the camera light is on but the camera/mic itself is unresponsive. If you are running Windows 10 or 11, your camera issues may be resolved using this troubleshooting guide.

This laptop has an optional IR camera in addition to the standard webcam. This guide features the former, but the process is equivalent for the latter. If you want to upgrade your standard camera to one with IR, you will need to replace the bezel and cable, which are not covered in this guide.

Disable the internal battery before you begin this repair.

Don't insert your pick further than the tip, as you might damage the display.
If your bezel doesn't have clips, this guide can still be helpful, but it is recommended to take extra caution since the adhesive-only bezels are extremely fragile and designed to be consumed, not reused.
Slide your opening pick down the right edge to unfasten the bezel clips.

The bottom edge of the bezel is held in place with strong adhesive and clips.
Ensure you're separating the bottom edge of the bezel from the protective film and not the protective film from the screen. If the film starts to peel up, gently press it back into place before you continue peeling up the bezel.
Use your fingers to slowly peel the bottom edge of the bezel from the protective film on the display.
If you're having a hard time separating the adhesive, use your opening pick to slice through the adhesive, being very careful not to cut the film. If it is still difficult, use an iOpener or hair dryer to lightly heat the bottom edge of the bezel.

Remove the bezel.
To re-install this bezel or install a new one, you'll need replacement adhesive. If your replacement does not include adhesive, use thin, double-sided tape. Use the 5mm strips for the bottom, and the 1mm strips around the top and sides. Remove all residue from the original adhesive before replacing.
