-
Remove the wrist strap, if present.
-
Remove the lithium-ion battery.
-
-
-
Remove the two 4 mm Phillips #00 screws on the bottom of the camera.
-
Remove the screw next to the wrist strap attachment.
-
Pull up the “A/V OUT DIGITAL” cover and remove the screw above the USB port.
Note: The PH000 bit from my iFixit toolkit fits the screws better than the PH00 described above. The 00 bit is too pointed to bottom out in the screw and therefore does not engage as well.

-
-
Carefully unhook the “A/V OUT DIGITAL” cover from the hinge.
With the camera I was repairing, to remove the front cover as shown below, it was necessary to first remove the two smaller screws on the opposite end of the body from the “A/V OUT DIGITAL” cover. That is . . . the screws shown in step 5 which in my camera also hold the front cover in place (design change apparently).

This will detach a silver U-shaped piece that was holding LCD screen on. Remove the piece and put it to the side.

The LCD screen should now only be attached by the LCD data cable.
-
Lift the screen from the right side and use a small screwdriver or other small opening device to flip the black portion of the connector upward to unlock it.

Carefully slide the data cable out of the connector.

The LCD should still be connected by the backlight cable.

The LCD screen should now be fully detached from the camera body.

The LCD screen casing is connected by 4 claws located on the top and bottom on the left and right hand side.

Carefully disengage the claws by gently prying them off one by one.
-
Once the claws are disengaged, the back of the casing will still be connected to the front casing by the backlight cable.

Carefully peel the backlight cable off of the casing.
