Anyone know where to get the flash? My daughter’s has the “won’t stay closed” problem so common to the a-series and I need to replace it.

David Reeves -

Thanks, good guide but please update it according to Jürgens comments or there is a big risk people will break their top panel.

David: I got the flash unit from AliExpress, but you can find it on Ebay as well.

Dan Lilliehorn -

Thanks for the guide! I had to open additional 2 more screws inside the battery compartment. and only had to remove 2 bottom screws on Step 8 (instead of 3). Replaced the flash unit without any issue. Thank you!
