A motherboard is a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. If a short circuit happens, your camera might not be able to turn on. This guide will guide you step by step on how to replace the motherboard of your Sony α6000 camera.
Before you begin the repair, make sure to turn off your camera, disconnect it from any power source, and remove the battery.
Be cautious while working on the camera—some internal components, like capacitors, can hold a charge and may shock you or damage the camera's internal circuits. Use a capacitor discharge tool to safely release any stored energy before proceeding. For more information about capacitors, check out the Capacitors 101 Wiki. You can also follow this guide to make your own capacitor discharge tool.

I have been wondering what path I will take when I replace my battery contacts part and this looks like an ideal guide for how I can do it. I wondered why you don’t discharge the capacitor before removing ribbon cables. When I removed the top block off my nex-6 I did discharge the capacitor as what the service manual suggested before I removed the control dial and flash ribbon cables. Before I did it I found a youtube about using wires to the discharge contacts going to a light bulb to safely discharge the capacitor. The service manual suggests using a short jig R:1 k Ω/1 W but since I don’t have access to an electronics store nearby the youtube did the trick trouble free.
I was successful with the dissembling the camera and will need to invest in a working logic board and maybe something that is part of the shutter. I was hoping the camera would be an easy fix but sometimes this isn’t this case.
is there a way to fix the hdmi out port without buying a new mother board?
Hi this is a really helpful guide thank you but I need to go a bit further to replace the sticky shutter. Do you have a guide for that please
It really should be mentioned in step 9 to discharge the flash's capacitor using a resistor. It can be sitting at 200+ volts for long after the camera has been turned off, which is quite dangerous.
