Einleitung

A cracked LCD screen is a prevalent problem in digital cameras. But, before you spend money on a new LCD screen, make sure the camera still works by taking a few pictures and uploading them to your computer. A cracked LCD will not affect the quality of the pictures. You do not want to try to replace the LCD if something else is broken.

    • Remove the battery and SD card from the camera.

    • 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.

    • Remove the front of the camera body.

    • Be sure to keep track of the rubber ring.

    When removing the front, this little clear rubbery piece might fall out.

    • 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)
