Use this guide for information on installing a new logic board or re-install the old one. Removing the logic board requires 17 desolders to remove the old logic board. To install a new logic board, then 17 resolders need to be done. Unless you feel very confident in your soldering abilities, you could end up disassembling the the logic board and not be able to reassemble it. Also, be careful when handling the camera after taking the casing off because the camera's capacitor for the flash can shock you. Use this guide to gain access to and replace the logic board.

-
-
Using the spudger (or any non-metal prying tool), gently remove the black film.
-
-
-
Using the capacitor discharge tool carefully touch each end of the capacitor discharge tool to the each terminal of the capacitor.
-
Click the link below for instructions on how to make the capacitor discharge tool: Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool
-
Keep the wires connected to the capacitor terminals for 2 minutes to completely discharge the capacitor.
-
The camera should be completely safe to handle now.
-
-
-
Touch the hot tip of the solding iron to the first solder connecting the flash mechanism to the logic board until the solder melts.
-
Repeat this for the next 10 solders.
-
Verify solders have detached logic board.
-
-
-
Touch the hot soldering iron to the solder in the lower left corner connecting the logic board to the red wire.
-
When the solder has completely melted, gently pull the wire free from the logic board.
-
Repeat for the red, blue, and then black wires.
-
-
-
Touch the soldering iron tip to the solder in the upper right corner connecting the logic board to the battery lead.
-
Pull the battery lead out of the slot in the logic board. This must be done immeadiately after the solder melts.
-
Repeat for the solder to the left.
-
The logic board will now be completely free from the camera.
-
-
-
Insert the battery leads into the slots in the new logic board.
-
Solder both leads to the logic board.
