Hi Terrance - the return spring on the on/off switch has gone on mine - are you able to see how to get at this on your stripped down one?
freecycle at evendine dot eclipse dot co dot uk in case I don’t notice it coming up here
hmm, haven’t dug that deep yet… The front case disassembly seems very tricky. Also the IR-cut removal.
Terrance -
Sorry to hear that, I arrive here coming for a solution for the return spring on the on/off switch, is not a big problem but a pain and battery drain if you don’t realise :)
Anyway thanks for your teardown really formative.
I tried to remove the top cover to repair the return spring on the ON/OFF, but I was not able to separate it from the body. I have no solution.
I finally got my hands on a wasted 1J5 and go on with the tear down. FYI top cover is sort of easy to remove, but very tricky. post more photos later.
I some simple words, after removing main PCB, remove some screws from left-upper right-upper and inside flash bay,you can wiggle the top clean off.
And, the power switch is berried very deep. you have to fond all sneaky screws. Aaaaaand the mode dial cap is double-side-taped, some thermal energy needed.
Terrance -
typo “flash bay“ should be “battery bay“. one screw above top of battery bay.
Terrance -
that seems extra tricky indeed. But one more looking foward to it, I just got a copy of this camera with the button spring gone too (seems to be a common problem then). Very helpful guide, thanks!
Appended some steps about the sensor. In case you’re interested.
A very helpful guide, thanks!
Would it be alright if I dropped some drops of rubbing alcohol over the button assembly? The buttons are pressing at random, but I don't want to disassemble it
Sounds not that bad. The issue is, IPA will dissolve grease, then cover electric contacts. Try press it quickly couple of dozen times, hope that will pump some bad things out :-P. If the button works fine, not much to worry about.

Good lord this is detailed 😳
