Use this guide to replace the image sensor.
Note: You'll need JIS screwdrivers for this repair. Regular Phillips screwdrivers have a cross pattern with rounded inner edges and won't fully fit the slots in the JIS screws. JIS screwdrivers instead have a straight cross pattern which makes much better contact with the screw head and is made for the high torque you will need to loosen the screws.

I really need to do this operation! One question: I’m shopping for a replacement sensor and in the photos it looks like the cables off the sensor assembly are free hanging. In this tutorial there is only the disconnection of the black and white speaker cables. Where do these cables go?
I am grateful for this! Thanks - it worked a treat!
Thanks, I have done it with the Nikon d7200, it is different I have made some comments already, similar to the Nikon d7100 you have to unscrew the diopter and has 2 screws under the rubber what you have to remove… The motherboard is totally different
Any suggestions for locating a reputable, OEM part? Tons of choices on eBay with widely varying prices. Hints or clues to ensure I am buying authentic and safe parts are appreciated! Thanks!
