Excellent photo documentation.
Thank you ernestliasa!
Where can I found the camera's microphone?
Hi dude. I did all the steps and disassembled the camera and I removed the IR filter from the sensor. All is good until that point. And then I assembled the camera in reverse order but now there is no display on screen. In my first attempt I got the menu working but I got no live view display or photo. Then I re-opened and assembled again. This time there is just nothing. Camera turns on but no display, no messages. the zoom button, on/off and even the video record button works all well but no display.. Any thoughts on this pls?
PS: This is an excellent tutorial by the way. I must have done smth. wrong, otherwise I had no issues on disassembly.
