The shutter is a very important part of the camera because without it you can't take pictures. This guide will give you the steps to access this button and replace this button.

    • Remove the battery before beginning.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws on the front casing. There are ten screws, three on the left side, two on the bottom, and one on the right side of the camera.

    • Using the spudger, move around the casing, carefully separating the rear housing from the camera assembly.

    • Be sure to only apply pressure to the casing panels and not the sensitive internal electronics.

    • Once the rear housing is separated, the settings buttons will be accessible for replacement.

    • Using the pointed edge of the spudger, lift the hinge that secures this flex circuit. This will unfasten the flexible ribbon wire.

    Also, remove screw inside battery compartment holding down the shutter/zoom assembly.

    • Remove the panel containing the shutter and zoom slider, by lifting it up.

    As Greg started in the previous step in the comments, there is a singular small screw in the very bottom of the battery compartment holding the shutter button assembly in place, do not try to force the shutter button assembly up, make to remove that screw first (shouldn't be hard to take off).

Muy bueno pero falta documentar 3 tornillos.

1. En el paso 1, en la tercera foto debajo del sticker del código de barras.

2. En el paso 2, justo en el fondo del compartimento de una de las baterías (la del extremo). Incluso se alcanza a apreciar en la foto.

3. En el paso 8, en esa misma pieza de metal a un lado está el otro tornillo.

My shutter button still works but doesn’t give feedback. It’s hard to tell when I’ve taken a picture because it doesn’t “click.” I’m wondering if that’s something that can be fixed, but I can’t tell if the mechanism for that feedback is in the mechanical portion above (and maybe a piece of metal broke) or built into the switch soldered on the circuit board.
