Pry case open with a metal spludger by slipping the spludger between the back and front case of the camera and wiggling the spludger forwards and backwards.
Painful to see the damage to the upper housing here done by the spudger. Don't do it this way! There is a hidden ninth screw that you can only access when the flash is opened and you look straight into the flash housing. That ninth screw is what's causing the damage in the picture. You MUST unscrew it to be able to remove the back housing without damage!
Yes, be careful ! I struggled with the case until I found this screw.
