Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Back Cover Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

5 - 10 Minuten

Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the back cover of your Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera, which houses the back panel buttons and LCD screen.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Remove the following eleven screws securing the covers to the ZS3
Eleven 3 mm Phillips screws
Using too much pressure when removing the screws may strip the screws and complicate screw removal at a later time.

On some versions of this model, removing the back cover will suffice for this repair. The back cover is secured by only six screws.

Schritt 2

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry apart the back cover from the rest of the unit as shown.
Be sure to carefully and slowly lift the back cover. Forcefully lifting the back cover and fully separating it at this point may ruin internal connections.

Schritt 3

Using your fingernail or a spudger, flip up the ZIF locking flap on the two LCD ribbon cable sockets that connect the back cover to the rest of the unit.
Be sure you are opening the locking tab, not pulling against the socket mounted to the board.

Schritt 4

Remove the two LCD board ribbon cables out of their sockets.

There are two ribbon cables: a wide one for the lcd display itself, and a thin one for the backlight. When reassembling, it is easy to reverse the polarity on the backlight cable, in which case the backlight will not work. Make a note of the polarity as you disassemble.
