Fujifilm FinePix 4700 Zoom Motherboard Unit Replacement

Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 7 screws on the sides of the camera:

Four 3.95mm Phillips screws located on the bottom of the camera

Two 3.95mm Phillips screws located on the right side of the camera

One 3.95mm Phillips screw located on the left side of the camera

Slide open the battery compartment cover with your thumb.

Wedge the edge of the spudger between the front and back case, near the corner of the flash.

Carefully run the spudger along the right edge of the camera, creating an opening.

Insert the spudger into the left side of the camera, above the screwhole. Then carefully run it along this edge.

Slowly lift the back cover straight up, lightly jiggling it if necessary.

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Gently insert the spudger under the clip holding the orange ribbon. The clip should lift up and the ribbon will slide out.

This step will free the back cover from the rest of the camera.

Use the tweezers to grab the speaker (located on left side of the camera) and pull straight up.

Use the tweezers to pull gently on the small orange ribbon, located in upper left hand corner near the flash, to remove the square insert.

Use your fingers to slowly pull the flash straight up.

Slightly separate the front cover from the motherboard unit (which consists of the motherboard, speaker, screen, and battery compartment).

Rotate the bottom portion of the motherboard unit (the screen and battery compartment) over the lens unit.

Use your fingers to remove the tripod mount.

Gently stick the spudger under the ribbon clips and lift them up.

Use the tweezers to pull both ribbons out of the ribbon clips.
