Introduction

In this guide, the goal is to show how to take apart a Bell and Howell DNV16HDZ camcorder in order to replace parts such as the front LED. This would be helpful in the case of a damaged or malfunctioning LED in the camcorder. In this repair guide every screw was taken out using the Philips head #0 driver which is quite small. Also every screw taken out is the same uniform size (2mm) which is quite convenient.

    • Remove the five 30mm Phillips #0 screws on the bottom of the camera.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the internal hinges that snaps the camera into place.

    • Using a plastic opening tool is important since a metal one will scratch or damage the thin plastic hinges that hold the camera together.

    • It will still be connected by a plastic film. This can also be disconnected by pulling up the white part where it connects to the light circuit board.

    • The two 30 mm Phillips #0 screws left can be removed to gain access to the circuit board along with the LED.

    • From here we can pop out the LED using the wedge or your fingers if you can manage it.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
