Einleitung

This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to replace either the motherboard or lens assembly from your Canon PowerShot SX60 HS.

The motherboard controls all aspects of the device and its operation. The lens assembly houses all the optics used to capture images.

Before starting this guide make sure to consult our troubleshooting page to ensure that this repair is necessary for your device.

This guide essentially requires you to completely disassemble the device, so there are lots of ribbons, electronics and optics that could break potentially damaging your device further.

Make sure to completely power off the device before starting this repair.

    • Make sure to power off the device before completing any more steps.

    • Remove the battery by releasing the orange clip in the battery compartment.

    • Remove the rubber eye piece by pulling it back.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the two 5mm #00 screws located on the side of the viewfinder.

    Check end punctuation here.

    • Ensure the LCD screen is swung fully to the left before taking off the back panel.

    • Use the iFixit opening tool to pry off the back panel.

    • Don't completely pull off the back panel because there is still a ribbon attached.

    • Use the black spudger to unclip the ribbon located behind the battery compartment. Then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • Once the ribbon is unplugged, remove the back panel from the camera body.

    The first step is a little confusing to me—can you clarify what you mean? Also, be sure to check end punctuation on each step.

    On the third step, only the thin plastic ribbon comes out, the brown and gray plastic parts are the connector and will stay with the board, I pulled the gray plastic part and broke the connector.

    • Remove the sunshade located on the front of the lens by twisting it 90 degrees in either direction, then pull straight off the lens.

    Should this be two steps? Do you have any images of you removing the lens?

    • Remove the front cover by pulling along the lens housing while holding the body of the camera.

    This is a great example of the final shot that I think some of your other guides need, which iFixit was referring to in the feedback.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the two 2mm #00 silver screws located under the viewfinder.

    • Don't pull the viewfinder all the way out because there is still a wire ribbon attached.

    • Remove the plastic housing around the viewfinder by using a black spudger or opening tool to unclip the 3 plastic clips on the sides of the viewfinder.

    Can you be clearer in the orange bullet about how to remove? Also, make sure to check all steps for end punctuation.

    • Unclip the ribbon from the ZIF connector on the viewfinder.

    • Pull out the viewfinder.

    Use a square, rather than a circle, for the ribbon markup here.

    • Remove the 4mm #00 Philips screw located on the top left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Remove the 5mm #00 Philips screw located on the top left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Remove the 5mm #00 Philips screw located on the top of the left side panel near the microphone connection.

    • Remove the 4mm #00 Philips screw located on the bottom left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Using a black spudger, unclip the orange wire ribbon on the lower left corner of the motherboard and then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • The side panel is now free and can be removed by pulling the panel to the left.

    I think I would be clearer about who’s unclipping and how. I might consider making this its own step. Also, what is “it” referring to in the last bullet?

    • Remove two 4mm #00 Philips screws located at the hinge of the LCD Screen.

    • Unclip the green ribbon using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • Be careful when removing this plug. The wires in the green ribbon are not connected together and can easily be damaged.

    • Once the ribbon is unclipped, remove the LCD screen.

    Comma splice, here, between plug and wires. Check the name of the screwdriver throughout (Phillips).

    • Use the black spudger to unclip the ribbon on the top right corner and then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • Remove one silver 2mm #00 Philips screw found underneath the ribbon.

    • Once the screw is removed, the top panel is completely detached from the device. To remove it, grab it by hand and gently pull it off the device.

    Check capitalization here, and see specifically the lack of clarity in the orange bullet. How will the top cover come free—does the user need to lift it off? will it fall off? Etc.

    • Remove one 2mm #00 Philips head screw from the bottom of the camera frame. This will free the lens and motherboard from the frame.

    • Be careful not to completely remove the metal frame, there is still a small wire ribbon attached.

    • Gently separate the metal frame from the lens assembly just enough to reach the wire ribbon on the front side of the camera.

    • Use the rubber tipped tweezers to unplug the wire ribbon.

    • Remove the metal frame and slide the lens motor assembly out of the plastic frame.

    Check plural screws here for one screw, as well as the comma splice between frame and there.

    Can you add a photo, here, of you removing the motherboard with the spudger?
