This 22 step guide to replace the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 flash is considered to be moderately difficult and take on average 30 minutes to complete. To reach the flash, a disassembly of the majority of the camera is required. This includes removing the battery terminal as well as the mother and daughter board which then gives the user the access to unclip the flash. The only tool needed is a J00 screwdriver.
