    • A black ribbon wire connects the rear panel to the inside of the camera. Breaking this wire would make your rear screen and buttons non-functional.

    • Carefully use your fingers to tilt the back panel downward to about a 90 degree angle.

    • Use the flat end of the spudger to gently pry off the ribbon wire from the inside of the camera.

    crwdns2913378:0crwdne2913378:0

    The ribbon cable is connected to the camera via a plug (the gold colored PCB has a male plug on the other side of the PCB). This plug is at the end of the spudger. You need to pull that PCB boar/plug straight up from the camera (perpendicular to the camera)

    There is a metal piece protruding from the back panel into the main body, down near the battery door. DO NOT simply bend the back panel down 90 degrees! Gently pull the entire back (including the lower right corner near the battery door) straight away from the camera about 1cm, and then lower the back panel 90 degrees.
