Nikon D500 Memory Card Cover Disassembly

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

5 minutes

Introduction

Make sure to remove any memory cards and the battery before doing these steps.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the Memory Card(s) from the camera
Remove the Battery from the Camera, and close the battery compartment cover

Step 2

Remove the 2 screws beside the memory slots, then close the cover.
Note: make sure to remove the memory cards first!

Step 3

Remove the 2 screws under the rubber grip part by peeling back the rubber grip
Try not to damage the double sided adhesive under the rubber.

Step 4

Remove the 2 screws under the rubber pad marked in red.
Try not to damage the double-sided adhesive under the rubber.
Note: There is a 3rd screw under the flap, which holds the back to the top (marked in yellow). If needing to remove the back panel not just the memory cover flap, it can be removed at this time as well.

There are 3 screws, not two.

The 3rd screw is not attached to the the side panel, but is attached to the top. This part of the guide is for removing the side panel, so that screw did not need to be removed. There is another step that is for removing that screw to release the rear panel.

I have edited the step to add that comment.
