Camera Module Replacement: Estimated Labour Charges and Prices in Nairobi
Provider: Pro-Logic Technologies, Kangari Building, Nairobi
The camera module is the complete optical and electronic assembly of a phone's camera: the lens, image sensor, autofocus actuator (if present), OIS mechanism, and the ISP (image signal processor) interface, all packaged into a single replaceable unit. Whether front or rear, "camera module replacement" in the repair context means swapping out this entire assembly rather than individual lens glass or sensor components. It is the most common form of camera repair because individual internal components are rarely available separately.
When Is Full Module Replacement Required?
- Camera shows a black screen with no hardware fault in the flex cable or connector
- Autofocus is permanently stuck and does not respond to taps
- OIS is failed — confirmed shaky footage even when the phone is held still
- Physical impact cracked the lens and damaged the sensor underneath
- Camera error codes persist after flex cable reseating and software reset

OEM vs. Aftermarket Modules
OEM camera modules preserve the full camera software experience — including computational photography features, RAW output, and accurate colour calibration. Aftermarket modules may produce images with noticeably different colour rendering or reduced low-light performance. For flagship devices, OEM parts are worth the premium.
Pro-Logic Technologies at Kangari Building, Nairobi advises on OEM vs. aftermarket camera module options and their real-world impact before any replacement is carried out.
