    • Disconnect the control board data cable with care. Permanent damage may occur to the control board if tools are used to disconnect the data cable. Use your fingers only.

    • Disconnect the control board data cable by wiggling carefully with your fingertips. Set the control board to the side once it is disconnected.

    • LCD screen is very fragile. Handle with care. Do not use tools to remove the screen.

    • Lift the metal plate and LCD screen simultaneously until it is perpendicular to the camera.

    Es muss vor dem lösen des Flachbandkabels vom Display die Verriegelung der Anschlussbuchse über den kleinen Hebel (schwarz oder grau) entriegelt werden. Diesen vorsichtig von hinten in Richtung Flachbandkabel hochklappen aber Vorsichtig!

    • Remove the ribbon cable connecting LCD display to camera sensor and battery housing.

    Je n'arrive pas à rebrancher ce câble et la photo ne m'aide pas. Est-ce qu'il va sous la petite barrette de la carte mère, comme je pense mais je n'arrive pas à le glisser, ou dans le pli de l'autre câble plat qui arrive à cette barrette?

    Si vous suivez encore ce fil....énorme merci d'avance.

Aside from a few missed screws, very nicely done. And I suspect that if one didn’t realize the need to remove those screws, sh/e probably shouldn’t be attempting the job in the first place. :) (I noted the comments after completing lens removal.)

Leon -

Can you comment where/specifically the missing screws that were not listed can be found? Any other guides out there that are more comprehensive?

Eric C -

Under multi cover
