    • The battery compartment is located on the bottom side of the camera. Push the button in, and slide the cover to get access to the batteries.

    • The batteries will slide right out.

    • When putting new batteries in, make sure they are pointing the right direction.

    • Remove the 7 screws holding the front case in place, with a #00 screwdriver.

    • Six screws are 3.6 mm.

    • The seventh screw is 3.2 mm.

    • Pulling the front case off, requires applying enough strength in the right areas.

    • The front case snaps into place in three places:

    • At the top and bottom of the battery side (opposite of side pictured) of the case.

    • Right in the middle of the DC-in side (side pictured) of the case.

    • Top of the camera, to the left of the power button.

    • Once those places are disconnected, the front case will pop right off.

    • The camera in the first two pictures is upside down. This is the best position to place your thumbs to remove the case.

    • Remove the 3.2 mm screw in the battery compartment using a #00 screwdriver.

    • After removal of the screw the case will be loose, but do not tug it off. There is a cord connecting the rear controls to the motherboard.

    • Remove the 2 pieces of translucent yellow tape.

    • Removing these pieces of tape will void the camera warranty. They serve no functional purpose and do not need to be replaced during reassembly.

This is also applicable to the Olympus FE170. I dismantled and repaired mine using this guide. Excellent!
