  • After a good twenty #00 Phillips screws were removed from the perimeter of the device, we managed to separate the rear cover.

  • A ribbon cable for the rear control buttons and a hefty 40 pin cable responsible for transmitting information to the rear display still attached the rear cover to the rest of the camera.
