Great article.

I have disassembled mine in order to clean dust inside sensor assembly, i took apart #26 using top 2 screws and the bottom one.

Unfortuntatly in the middle there were spacers, on the bottom 3 of them, on the upper side i have found 5 little metal spacers… without knowing how many were on the left, and on the right. Do you have pictures of this stage? Tya.

Большое спасибо автору статьи. Благодаря ей разобрали Fuji X-A2 для ремонта (после падения камеры не работала часть функций). После разборки и последующей сборки камера работает как новая. Только черную пленку под LCD пришлось выбросить, потому что она одноразовая

Many thanks to the author of the article. Thanks to her dismantled Fuji X-A2 for repair (after the fall of the camera did not work part of the functions). After disassembly and subsequent Assembly, the camera works as new. Only the black film under the LCD had to be thrown away, because it is disposable

Lena Raigorodskiy -

Do you have a manual for repair X-A2, it seems similar but it is not
