In this guide you will need two tools: a Phillips #00 screwdriver and a soldering iron. Take caution when taking out the bulb especially if the capacitor is in tact, you may get shocked if you touch it.

    • Carefully peel the front side of the shell away.

    • As you lift the front shell, be careful to not pull too hard since there is a spring attached to the shell and the camera body.

Hi, I did bulb replacement on Mini 40 with the help of this guide. I found similar looking bulb on Aliexpress. I suggest you to look online for a replacement xenon tube lamp that is similar in look and length. I found lamp for Nikon models ******D40 D40X D60 D60X D3000 fitting and working fine with Instax Mini 40
