Einleitung

This is the steps to remove the top assembly of the camera.

  1. ohvy2IxcOaHoE6XV

    • Remove the 2 screws beside the memory slots, then close the cover.

    • Note: make sure to remove the memory cards first!

  2. ITGbn2VNAhgsvEBY

    • Remove the 2 screws under the rubber grip part by peeling back the rubber grip

    • Try not to damage the double sided adhesive under the rubber.

  3. ccGcYRpMpJmCbrnv

    • Remove the 2 screws under the rubber pad marked in red.

    • Try not to damage the double-sided adhesive under the rubber.

    • Note: There is a 3rd screw under the flap, which holds the back to the top (marked in yellow). If needing to remove the back panel not just the memory cover flap, it can be removed at this time as well.

    There are 3 screws, not two.

    The 3rd screw is not attached to the the side panel, but is attached to the top. This part of the guide is for removing the side panel, so that screw did not need to be removed. There is another step that is for removing that screw to release the rear panel.

    I have edited the step to add that comment.

    The ribbon cables have latched covers which the catches flip up and release the cables from the motherboard.
