    • With the screws removed, use the plastic opening tool to gently pry the screen away from the main camera chassis. The ideal spot to start is at the corner with the headphone jack, as indicated in the picture.

    • Once this side is free, gently work your way along the edge, all the way around the camera body.

    • With the screen freed, gently lay the camera on its face, so that the battery compartment faces up. Use both hands to lift the screen up and away.

    • The screen is still attached to the motherboard by a ribbon cable. Be Gentle as it's very fragile.

I followed the instructions to replace the lens. However, the camera will not work. Error message says Warning Camera Failed. What went wrong?

Gary Mason -

You have a Mother Board Problem

i have dust inside the lenses , how do i open the lens only?

Myra Arcadia -

If you don't place the ribbon on the lenses right you can get that error too

The instructions are fine, as far as they go, which isn't nearly far enough. A much more thorough tutorial - with several key steps that are missing from these instructions, can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpExoJua.... I wouldn't have been able to complete the installation correctly without this helpful video.

I really don’t think I need to take the camera apart to address the issue of the lens cover not opening completely. Is just blowing out the area really going to enable it to open correctly? LH

Lynn Harrington -

Without taking the camera apart is there anything I need to do besides blowing air to enable the lens coverings to open. They open about 1/4 way now.
