            Open the battery compartment door by sliding the release button towards the lens.

            This will cause the door to "pop" open slightly

            Push the yellow tab lock towards the center to release the battery. 
- 
                     
            Pull straight out, slowly on the battery.

            After removal of the battery. Pull the battery compartment door away from the lens.

            There are eleven Philips head screws that hold the bottom cover on, including a few inside the battery compartment. 
- 
                     
            Remove all the screws and the bottom face should pop off easily. 
 
- 
                     
            
-

            Then next step is removing the seven Philips #00 screws that hold the rear face plate on.

            There are screws hidden in three separate spots.

            One is under the rubber doors on the left side of the camera. the next one at the eye hole. 
- 
                     
            The final one involves taking off the small dial that is about half an inch to the right of the eye hole. 
- 
                     
            Removing this dial involves putting a spungder tool behind it and applying a gradual amount of pressure. 
 
-

   - 
                     
            The rear face plate will include the LCD display it separates from the body of the camera with a small tug. 
- 
                     
            Once there is enough space it will be possible to gently pull the ribbon cable out of their ports.

   - 
                     
            The next piece to come off is the front plate and the red grip. 
- 
                     
            The front plate is held on by 2 Philips #00 screws on the front and two more beneath the flash bulb. 
- 
                     
            Remove the two Phillips #00 screws holding on the grip and it slides off easily. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            It is now possible to remove the last three Philips #00 screws that are hidden under the memory card slot door. 
- 
                     
            The screws come out and the cover comes straight off. 
- 
                     
            The last cover plate is the top. The top is held on by two screws located just beneath the rim of the cover.

   - 
                     
            The rear side of the camera is where the motherboard is located. It is visible after you have taken off the rear face plate. 
- 
                     
            Remove the shield that protects it from static first. 
- 
                     
            This shield has six Philips #00 screws that are positioned around the edge of the shield. 
- 
                     
            After removal of the screws the shield will come free from the motherboard.

   - 
                     
            There are a few ribbon cables that connect to the motherboard to the rest of the camera with some of them hiding under other ribbon cables.
