PCB is separated from the plastic enclosure. Notice the indentation in the TIM which is made from the heat sink's protruding square-shaped feature.įigure 5. The image below shows the back side of the PCB, which includes the main processor, thermal interface material (TIM), and two screws attached to the camera lens module (not seen as it's located on the PCB's front side).Īlso visible is a heat sink (attached to the plastic enclosure). Removing the PCB from the plastic piece required the removal of three more screws. Breaking the plastic enclosure was required in order to gain access to the internal electrical components a lone PCB can be seen. With the plastic removed, a lone PCB can be seen neatly packed away within the enclosure.
In order to remove the plastic, I resorted to using brute force to simply break-away the two plastic enclosure pieces. With the two microphone covers removed, eight additional screws are exposed.įour of these eight screws were easy to unscrew, but the remaining four must have had high-strength Loctite generously applied to their threads because I could not get them to budge loose. With these four screws gone the two perforated microphone covers can be detached, which, when removed, expose eight more screws (see image below).įigure 3. Removing the two rubber-like pads to reveal the four hidden screws. As can be seen in the image below, there are two screws on both sides of the enclosure's bottom these screws are hidden underneath the two rubber-like pads.įigure 2. The first step in this teardown is the removal of the four screws that help hold the camera's enclosure together. Included with the camera is an integrated USB cable I say integrated meaning that the cable is part of the camera as opposed to one that must be plugged in-we'll take a closer look at this integration during the teardown.įigure 1. Most of the weight appears to be in the hinged base.
This 1080p widescreen HD camera, from Logitech, looks and feels like it's a well-built camera that weighs, to my surprise, more than it should it weighs-in just shy of half a pound-0.48 pounds, or 7.68 ounces, according to its description on Amazon. In this teardown, we claw open Logitech's new HD Webcam C920 for examination.
