    • Peel back the rubber cover above the in/out ports to reveal two screw heads.

  2. yJraDyNfYahSnHCm

    • Remove both 5.4 mm screws using a Phillips #0.

    I just accidentally stripped one of those screws. Is there anything I can do or am I...screwed?

    • Lift the in/out port plastic covering from the bottom where the backup battery used to be.

    Before removing the port cover, you must also remove the screw to the left of the mic jack and the screw below the HDMI port.

    • Remove each 6.3 mm screw on either side of the viewfinder using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    It is important to remove the diopter adjustment screw and the diopter wheel above the right screw. Otherwise you will not be able to take off the top panel in step 22.

    • Peel back the rubber covering next to the menu dial to access the screw.

    • Remove the single 3.4 mm screw using a Phillips #0.

  7. lRaAjCR2kAxLpQ3R

    • The back panel can now fall off easily by turning the device upside down. Be sure to catch it so the data ribbons do not tear or tug.

  8. UWkkLRibvmBEmkqb

    • Remove each data ribbon cable from the motherboard by applying pressure down towards the motherboard and gently sliding your thumb upwards on the slot where the cable meets the motherboard. This will raise a very small clip that locks the cable in place.

    • The back panel is now free from the rest of the device.

  9. eXkph4sYVIH6cWkv

    • Using tweezers, pull out the wire attaching the front panel to the motherboard.
