    • Begin by removing the 5 screws (located: 2 screws on either side and 1 screw on the bottom) using the PH000 head in the Precision Phillips Screwdriver.

    • These screws were missing in our example. These screws should have been small Phillips PH000 screws 1.5mm in length.

    • These screws are very small. To keep from losing any pieces, place all small metals on a magnetic project mat.

    • After the screws are removed, pull the front casing up and away from the camera.

    • If the casing is difficult to remove, use a plastic opening tool to gently pry up on the front as shown.

    • Using your hands or an opening tool, pry off the silver frame, taking special care at the top of the camera where the buttons are as it is a little harder to pry off.

    • If the back casing is loose from the camera body, it may be easier to perform step 4 first, then accomplish this step. Proceed as your unit allows.

    • The last part of the casing to disconnect is the back that houses the LCD screen.

    • The screen is attached by a connection ribbon. Gently pull the casing and screen away from the camera body to disconnect the casing.

    • The LCD screen is held onto the back casing by a small amount of adhesive. This may come loose during this process. Do not worry if they become separated.

    • This plug and the connection ribbon are fragile, try not to tear the connection ribbon when disconnecting.

    • After the casing is removed, use your fingers to carefully lift up on the rubber pad, if it didn't already fall out during step 4.

    • The pad isn't secured to the camera so it will lift up and pull away easily.

    • After the pad is removed, the 2 Phillips head screws holding the control board will be exposed.

    • Using the Phillips precision screwdriver with the PH000 Phillips bit, remove the two 1.5mm screws.

    • Although the 2 screws are removed, the button board is still attached with a connection ribbon.

    • With a firm grip towards the bottom of the control board, gently pull away from the camera, removing the ribbon from the connector.

    • Locate the six 1.5mm Phillips screws that are holding on the interior camera frame.

    • Using the Phillips precision screwdriver and the PH000 Phillips bit, remove the 6 screws.

    • With the screws removed, the interior frame will no longer be fastened to the camera body and can be lifted up and away.

    • Locate the memory card slot in the bottom right corner of the camera.

    • Using a plastic opening tool, gently pry up on the edges of the bottom right corner of the control board.

    • Gently raise the lower right corner of the circuit board by prying upwards with an opening tool.

    • Using a pair of precision tweezers, slide one end under the memory card.

    • Firmly grip the memory card with the tweezers and pull directly outwards.

    • The tweezers may not be necessary in this step and the memory card may be removed by hand using a finger nail.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
