Introduction

To perform most replacements in the Nikon Coolpix B700, the back cover must be removed and the internal metal bracket needs to be released. This is required before replacing the motherboard, lens, button assembly, or other components.

    • Open the flash assembly and insert the spudger into the slot under the flash unit and twist.

    • While twisting, pry apart the shell to split the camera in half.

    • Place the pry tool under the black latch. Lift gently until the latch flips up.

    • Gently pull the ribbon away from the latch.

    • Be gentle when taking ribbons out and apart because they are fragile.

    • Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the remaining five 5.55mm screws.

    • Remove the single 6mm screw.

    The screw to unscrew on the bottom left seems to not exist or is covered by a foam which is as large as the grey area around in the picture.
