I would like to know how do I take out the top cover only in order to access the on/off switch, it seems impossible to find this, after a long search I am loosing hope hahaha.
Hi. To get the button removed you actually will need to follow the steps on this guide through step 18. Unfortunately the process is more complicated than it needs to be but in order to remove the front grip and access the button you will need to follow all the steps before. Look at steps 17 and 18 in detail to see the exact process of removing the button housing.
I would just like to let you know that I successfully replaced the flash unit. Thank you very much for this guide. I only had trouble finding the plug for the ribbon cable from the flash unit to reconnect it. In your photo, the ribbon cable is already disconnected, and I could not remember where it was plugged in. But finally, I found it and everything is working.
