    Hi how do you remove the two screws behind the LCD? It is impossible to reach with the angles that the screen can turn. thanks.

    Hi, johnny. I encounter the same problem, did you solve it?

    I found that if i turned the camera on its front you can access the screw on the left a bit better when the screen is turned upwards, facing the sky, if you know what i mean….but otherwise the right one i mangaged to do from going in from the top.

    hope that makes sense!

    There is a gap in the back plate when you turn the body upside down and flip the screen facing down. When you look down from above the upside down body you’ll find the screw is reachable.

    • Gently wiggle the screen's ribbon cable until it comes free from the white slot.

    Does the black connector open like the the whit one by lifting the black part?

    Christopher St.Louis -

    No the small cable just slides in and out kept in with friction rather than a lever.

This is super helpful! Where did you purchase your replacement part from?

Claire Sweet -

The white connector opens by prying up the black part. What about the little black connector?

Christopher St.Louis -

Just comes out when you pull on it gently

Kevin Ketelaars -

Top left screw on back plate is a pain to put back in at an angle with magnetized JIS driver. Non magnetized or slightly loose fitting driver might help.

Trick is to get the screw fit in the thread at the right angle, then drive it in with the driver at an angle.
