Einleitung

Replacing the LCD is relatively easy and can be done with a 26 Bit Driver Kit and a Prying tool. Consultation with the service manual is recommended (Device schematics start at page 25): https://docs.sony.com/release/mdsm/98346...

  1. ZIvaQprEdf3fxXrD

    • Orient the device so the bottom is facing up, and the lens is facing you ("bottom view").

    • For further reference, consult the service manual. Link to service manual.

  2. 5hQOgICWlmYqBjHL

    • Remove these two black M1.4 X 3.5 Phillips head screws.

    • The third, unmarked screw does not need to be removed at this time.

  3. IuK6vBNJALNGimWy

    • Orient the device so the LCD is facing you, and the hdmi cover is facing up ("left view).

    • Use a prying motion and a plastic opening tool to pry the side panel up.

    • Areas under the squares are approximate locations of retaining claws, shown at right.

    • Be careful not to break any of the retaining clips as you pry up this panel.

    • An image from the Service Manual has been added, which shows this side cover should be slid down before being removed, not just pried up as shown in the first picture in this step.

    Pull the panel down there are 2 clips in the midtle be carefull not to brake them

    Just prying doesn't do it. there are some clips which are really easy to break!

    I think it needs to be slided down!

    It is not clips but "hook" so to the mouvement should be at opposite direction on flash

    Olivier Lempereur -

    I inserted an opening pick under the lower part of the panel (where it was loosest; at the left of the photo) and then inserted a jimmy along one side (at the top of the photo). Then I pushed the panel down from the top (at the right in the photo) and it popped off.

    • When replacing the back cover of the device, ensure the flash module is UP.

    • The back cover should come off easily but you might hear light snapping or popping.

    • The rotary wheel and button are not secured. They will come loose when the back cover is removed. Set them aside for reassembly

    • Unhook the small printed circuit board by gently pressing the board towards the top of the device and lifting up.

    • Using a plastic opening tool remove the black LCD retainer clip to the right of LCD.

    • Note the orientation of the black LCD retaining clip and how it comes out of the camera.

    Help this is an urgent need please !!! I am stuck at step 12 : lifting the black retaining clip up just pops it out like a pop corn (tried several times) and then nothing moves :-(

    No need to unplug the LCD, to take the lens

    Il est inutile de débrancher l’écran LCD pour retirer l’objectif

This tutorial is great, but I think it misses one fundamental part out. The LCD screen you are removing is actually clipped into a backlight panel. Some LCD screens that you can buy as replacements on eBay don't actually come with the backlight panel installed and it can be very difficult to remove the backlight panel from your old LCD screen to your new one if your new one didn't come with one.

To anyone who is reading this tutorial, when buying a replacement LCD for your camera, always make sure that it comes with a Backlight panel too. Mine didn't so I can't really use it and I've had to order one from China on eBay. The description of the LCD screen on eBay should include the fact that the screen comes with a backlight. Watch this video for more info on backlight panels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWirT0cK...
