  5. HkWQ6gc1GHGvddu4

    • Peel the rear rubber piece off with tweezers.

    This is not needed : if you don't touch this rubber & screw the SD card cover will come off at the same time that the back case.


    = Quicker and easier

    • Pull the eyepiece cover up to remove it.

  8. kmD2nMN41RJFCpFK

    • Remove two 6 mm J000 screws from behind the eyepiece cover.

    • On D7100 models, there is an additional screw holding the back plate on. This screw is located in the diopter (dial with + - on it). This screw can be accessed by peeling up this sticker on the diopter.

    Concerning the diopter, it's wrong : D7000 also have a screw in it.


    See step 41.

Hi, thanks for the detailed instructions! I just replaced my main board and the new one did not boot. The battery is charged, but the LCD shows nothing when battery is in and when the power is on. Is that a problem with the replacement main board or does it need to be programmed? I expected it to power up once the power is available.

I get CLOCK with low battery indication . I checked internal battery health and I replaced with new battery on motherboard . Now with new battery in place I see voltage 3.12v and still camera does show CLOCK symbols with low battery. Please let me know if there is hard reset makes default configuration.
