Introduction

Use this guide to fully disassemble a Sony Cyber-Shot WX80, a compact digital camera first released in 2013 and since discontinued. Please note: This guide is intended to provide instructions on disassembling the Sony Cyber-Shot WX80 and does not provide guidance for repairing or replacing individual parts of the camera.

If you are experiencing issues with your Sony Cyber-Shoot WX80, a troubleshooting guide can be found here. A motherboard replacement guide can be found here, and you can find more guides on our website.

Before beginning, ensure the device is not attached to any external power sources and power it down completely.

    • Remove all six #00 screws holding the outer chassis together with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • Keep track of all screws as they are small and very easy to lose

    • At this point most of the parts in the camera should be free moving.

    • Take note of the small free moving flap near the battery port seen in the first of the three photos.

    • Remove the front of the shell case with the spudger. Insert the spudger into the seam on the right side of the camera and pry away from the back case.

    • Using the spudger, repeat the process to remove the back of the case. Pry away from the front of the camera.

    • Turn the camera so that you are looking at the LCD screen.

    • Use tweezers to remove the first of two ribbon cables holding the LCD screen in place. Pull directly out of the port.

    • Use tweezers to remove the second of the two ribbon cables using the same method.

    • Take care not to tear the ribbons. They are the communication networks that your screen uses to operate.

    • The LCD screen is now detached. Gently pull it apart from the rest of the camera with your hands.

    There’s an extra small part with some metal on it. But i cannot figure out where it came from?

    • Turn the side of the camera you just removed the cable ribbons from toward you.

    • The inner lining frame has an orange ribbon cable (circled in the image) that needs to be detached before it can be safely removed.

    • Remove the inner frame lining with tweezers.

    • Do so gently to avoid damaging the ribbon cable.

    • Carefully lift the inner frame lining away from the rest of the camera with your fingers.

    There’s a really small price I cannot figure out where it came from? Can anyone help?

So what about the other parts not in your photos that fall ?

The bracket around the speaker and this little white part that fell out as soon as I lifted the back cover a little? can you please give more info

Kat -

I'm also finding where was the white parts located. It seems that without this part, wx80 works well. If you found its location, please give me hint. Thanks.

Maybe this helps for the location of the white part: https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-insi...

This is not complete disassembly pics. Not at all. This is half the steps.
