This guide will help you replace the motherboard on a Casio Exilim EX Z55 digital camera.
The motherboard connects all of the main components of the camera like the memory, graphics card, and other hardware. The motherboard essentially tells the other camera components what to do. If the motherboard of your device is broken or defective the camera would not function properly or provide you with the best results.
Warning: Turn off your camera when you begin this guide. Digital camera flashes are powered by capacitors capable of delivering severe electric shock. The capacitor stores a charge drawn from the camera's battery. Be sure to remove the battery before you open the camera or attempt to discharge the capacitor. After opening a camera, avoid touching any internal components until you have verified that the capacitor is safely discharged.
