Carefully remove the back cover off of the camera by hand, minding the ribbon cable attached to the camera body. If the cover does not detach, use a spudger to pry it off.

Schritt 9

Pry the top cover button assembly off of the camera body by detaching clips around the base of it.

be careful when detaching the top cover : there's a small metallic part that is loose and will fall.

This part is a ~10mm bent metal strip, with a screw hole.

When in place it holds with the long screw from the battery compartment (step 8)

Schritt 10

Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove two 3mm screws on the left and one 5mm screw on the right from the front panel.

I got

- two 4mm screws on the left (golden-ish)

- one 3mm screw on the right (silver)

(rather than “two 3mm and one 5mm”)

Schritt 11

Remove the USB/HDMI panel from the right side of the camera.

Schritt 12

Separate the front cover and focus ring assembly from the front of the camera. Use a plastic spudger to detach the ZIF connector holding the ribbon cable connected to the focus assembly.

That ZIF connector in step 12 was really hard to detach so I think I broke one of those little holders for it. Is there any replacement ribbon with those holders? What are my options?

actually it's not a ZIF connector, so don't try to pull/push the grey “box”, you'll break it.

It's a basic connector/socket : just gently pull the ribbon.

you can see it for example (at 7”20’)
