    If you fix the p7800, the right down screw is different, its not a countersink, its flush.

    • Begin separating the camera into two parts.

    • It is okay to remove the orange ribbon. This will be easily put back into place when re-assembling.

    a. Remove plastic plate between main body & LCD screen (where the thumb is in the pic).

    b. Remove one screw (the only one) found behind the plastic plate.

    This is the most scary moment as I did not know how to remove the orange flat cable. I would not come off and I broke off a little plastic. Somehow it came off accidentally as I moved the backcover. The cable was later re- inserted with care, from the right towards the left via a very thin slit.

    "It is okay to remove the orange ribbon. This will be easily put back into place when re-assembling." Easily put back? Yeah, right (not!). It is actually anything but easy. I managed doing it after several attempts, but it was more by luck than skill. The ribbon is tiny, the contacts even more so and the slot into which the ribbon must be reinserted - I cannot even see it properly. A pair of small tweezers is a must for this step.

    • Remove the back casing.

    It would be better to lift the little white adhesive tape so that the backcover could be worked on.

Hey I have a P7700 that shows a lens error and focusing doesn't work.

I took it apart and removed the focus motor and it seems that the focus lens moves as it should but when turning it on the picture will be blurry for a second until the lens error comes up.

What issue is fixed by replacing this focus lens?

Hello.

Do you have a service procedure to fix the exposure dial in this camera?
