            Swap out your old LCD with the new one.

            If your backlite is ok you can buy only the LCD Display. But it is easier to purchase the LCD with the backlite attached. Replacement LCD Display VYQ5034

                  - 
            Pull the 3 flex cables out using flat needle nose pliers (it is easier to slide open the black clamps prior to pulling). These are sliding clamps not flip (up) clamps. 
- 
            Pull the single cable from the socket. This is a friction fit socket. 
- 
            Flip up the Cable clamp (picture #2) using a spudger as shown in the previous pages and release the cable. 
- 
            Flip up the Cable Clamp (picture #3) using a spudger and release the cable.

                  - 
            Release the socket. It would be best to use a method that does not require pulling on the wires. 
- 
            One way to release the socket is by carefully inserting a thin wedge between the male and female sockets and carefully pry them apart. 
- 
            Remove 1 silver screw (0.4mm) next to joy stick. 
- 
            Remove 1 silver blue tip coated (0.4mm) screw bottom left corner.

                  - 
            Open battery compartment 
- 
            Grab battery door and lift up (do not remove yet) the Main Board and Compartment Part 
- 
            Carefully flip over board and pull up so that the flash assembly rises along with the main board from the camera body. Remove entire assembly from the camera body.
