| + | [title] Removing The Insides |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] Yeah, "insides." really technical term. |
| + | [* black] To remove the internal module of main board, USB connector board, lens, and lens surround (now you know why I just called it "insides."), you will need to loosen the cyanoacrylate and the hot glue. |
| + | [* black] Luckily, the cyanoacrylate doesn't bond well to the aluminum shell, so a firm hit on the lens surround should probably loosen it up. My camera had already experienced a fall, so I assume it had loosened then. |
| + | [* black] Loosening the hot glue is simply a matter of heating it up again. Heat the upper front sides of the shell with whatever heat source you have. I used a small butane torch, but you can probably use a hot air gun even though it diesn't have as fine of control, or a hot air soldering machine. |
| + | [* black] While heating the outside of the shell, push on the main board from the back until you feel it slip, and push everything out the front. |
| + | [* black] Needless to say, be careful not to melt the lens surround. If you've got it that hot, the hot glue melted long ago. |
