Introduction

This guide will go through step by step on the removal of the rear case of a Sony Alpha A350. These steps will include removal of all screws, the eye cup, and front case of the camera in order to safely pull the rear case off of the main device. The function of this part is to protect all wire and parts such as the motherboard inside of the device. The rear case will need replaced if there is a crack or hole in the case, which exposes the inside of the device. Replacing the rear case will insure no further damage comes to the camera.
