Why the Galaxy S24 rear camera needs to be replaced

A single drop is enough to damage the sensor or lens of the rear camera without the protective glass itself breaking. The most common symptoms are a permanently blurry image, focus that no longer works, a sensor that stays black when opening the camera app, or an error message reporting that the camera cannot connect. In these cases, changing the module is the only solution: no software setting can restore a physically damaged sensor.

On the Galaxy S24, this module combines the sensor, the lens, and its connection cable to the motherboard. Replacing it restores sharp photos and working autofocus to the device, without affecting the other cameras in the rear block.

A genuine Samsung part, delivered in Service Pack

This Samsung Galaxy S24 rear camera is sold as a Service Pack: it is a genuine manufacturer part, delivered in Samsung's official repair packaging. Nothing has been disassembled or repaired, unlike a refurbished part: it is a new part, identical to the one fitted at the factory.

Its manufacturer reference is GH96-15540A, the one to check on the box to make sure you order the right part before any repair.

Which Galaxy S24 is this camera intended for

This listing concerns exclusively the Galaxy S24. The part is designed for this specific model, with the connectors and format matching its motherboard.

Before ordering, check the exact model of your phone in the device settings, as the reference engraved under the SIM tray often remains unreadable after a drop.

Precautions before replacing the camera module

The replacement requires opening the phone's rear casing, disconnecting the cable attached to the motherboard, then removing the module without forcing its mount. A precision screwdriver and an opening suction cup are needed; the operation is not recommended without experience in micro-soldering or smartphone disassembly.

As with any sensitive electronic component, handle the part by the edges and avoid any contact with the lens to prevent marks or dust from getting under the lens.

Shop warranty on this part

This rear camera is covered by a 2-year warranty, provided by the shop. It applies to the part itself, independently of the Service Pack packaging in which it is delivered.
