            Using the same Phillips head screwdriver, remove the last 0.133in silver screw. 
- 
                     
            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. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            To remove the backlight cable, use another small opening device to unlock the backlight cable. 
- 
                     
            Carefully slide out 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. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            The LCD screen and housing should now be in three pieces: 
- 
                     
            LCD screen 
- 
                     
            LCD screen frame 
- 
                     
            LCD screen back housing 
- 
                     
            The LCD screen itself can now be removed and fixed/replaced. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            With the case and LCD screen removed, you are ready to remove the release button. 
- 
                     
            Begin by using the Philips #00 screwdriver to remove two silver 0.159in screws on the top and front of the camera. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            The top plastic piece holding the release button should be held on only by a red-and-black wire connector to the logic board. 
- 
                     
            Remove the connector from the logic board and detach the release button housing from the camera. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            With the plastic housing for the release button removed from the camera, use the Philips #00 screwdriver to remove two silver 0.090in screws. 
- 
                     
            The release button can now be removed and fixed or replaced. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            With the case, LCD screen, and release button housing removed, the logic board can be accessed and removed for replacement or repair. 
- 
                     
            Begin by using the Philips #00 screwdriver to remove two silver 0.080in screws on the left side of the metal housing plate (yellow circles). 
- 
                     
            Use the Philips #00 screwdriver to remove nine silver screws from the back and top of the camera (red circles). 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            The metal back plate can now be removed. All that is holding it on at this point are pins and wires connected to the logic board. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            Now, the wires connected to the logic board must be removed. Gently pull them out of their holders on the logic board. 
- 
                     
            Once the connectors are disconnected, the logic board can be removed for repair or replacement. 
 
-
