This guide will take some time and is very hard to do. Once the camera is apart you have to unsolder several wires and post on the motherboard to get it off. Putting it back together will be even more of a challenge, as it uses micro soldering to reconnect the wires. Only experienced solders should do this.

This is a wonderful presentation! My P510 got in saltwater; worked erratically; I disassembled and cleaned with alcohol and blew out sand and dried and reassembled and it worked! The copper thingy in pic 17B was left over. I mostly disassembled and reassembled and again, it worked! I found the dial on the back upper right was catchy so I partly disassembled again to blow out that dial. After assembly, the dial was free, but it would not power on! I’ve checked all my cable connections and still can’t get it to power on. Anybody have something for me to check? This presentation is still wonderful.
Excellent guide - it gave me the courage and knowledge to partially strip my P510 and sort out an intermittent shutter release. Thank you!
not worth a bother. motherboard costs as much as a camera itself. many have the issue with motherboard, so as far as I am concerned, I have no trust in any Nikon product
my advice: if you have one still functioning, ge rid of it asap. no spare parts from Nikon and on eBay and other outlets, can not get it cheaper than $150 a piece. Always respected Nikon but since I got dissapinted with this one, no Nikon for me
