This really helped me. I changed my VF unit with no problem. And btw, it is not necessary to unplug LCD cable. I havent done it, as i thought it would be really tricky to put it back in and it was just alright. Just tape the display to back panel while manipulating it so you dont twist the cables.
Thanks for this
Where can I get the viewfinder glass though
