Introduction
This guide will show you how to almost completely strip down your device. Because of this, it may take a fair bit of time if you have never done a disassembly before. If you are looking for a guide to access the lenses themselves, this guide will not show that. However, it is possible if you have the patience to disassemble the lens casing.
