Einleitung

The flash bulb is essential for to take dimly lit photographs. If the flash goes out, your camera will have severely limited functionality.

    • Remove the battery and SD card from the camera.

  2. RcfWZ4sVXCwdHkJw

    • Remove the three 3.8 mm screws from the underside of the camera.

    • Each of the screws is slightly different, so it is important that you note the original location of each screw.

    • Peel the navigation buttons from the button panel and set them aside.

    • To free the LCD display, remove the 2.9 mm screw in the top left corner.

    • Rotate the screen clockwise until it lifts away from the camera.

    • There are two ribbon cables attached to the rear of the screen. Do not try to pull the screen off at this point.

    After removing the screw, there are two metal hooks overlapping. Once those are separated, it was easy to lift the display. Also, this metal bracket kept falling off.

    • To unplug the ribbon cables, pull them straight out of their plugs. Do this gently to avoid damaging the connections.

    • After disconnecting both cables, pull the screen away from the camera to remove it.

    During reassembly, I had to remove the button assembly to attach the large ribbon cable. I had to remove these two screws (there is a hidden ribbon cable under the button assembly, be careful)

    • One by one, detach the three ribbon cables from their ports.

    • Pay special attention when removing this connector. It does not pull out like the rest of them. Instead, you must use a spudger to lift the connector vertically out of its slot.

  12. Bqihi1IVOBEuZXqd

    • Flip the camera over again so that the rear is showing and remove the two .065 inch screws holding the flash unit in place. They should be on the left side.

  13. VCHNRLxyhf1TVGS3

    • Now you should be able to remove the flash unit from the camera.

    • When removing the flash, be careful when handling the capacitor. It may contain a powerful charge. Discharge may result in damage and personal injury.

  14. YiZbfeSMZdAscmLL

    • You have now successfully removed the flash unit.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
