    • Take the LCD off by undoing the zif and sliding it out.

    Don’t REMOVE the zif connector like on the picture!

    To open the zif connector:

    - this is the black (or the brun part on the other connector) part that pivots, the white part don’t move

    - I prefer to use my thumb(s) and my fingernail(s) to control the force

    - put your thumb on the side of the camera, just in front of the white part, to avoid the camera to slide toward yourself

    - slide you fingernail below the black part

    - if you have small finger, you can use both hand to reduce the effort on the zif

    - lift up the black part, that will pivot and terminate at 90° angle with the white part

    • Pull out the cogwheel with the drive unit.

Hi, I think on my sensor chip is some dust. Is it possible to clean that or is it one unit with lens? There is no picture about this detail….
