    Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove one ~6mm above the button and one 4mm screw bellow the button on the surface of the right face of the camera. Additionally, one 3mm under the USB/HDMI cover.

    • Carefully remove the back cover off of the camera by hand. Press the brown actuator in the FFC socket to release the FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit - brown cable attached to the back cover) and pull the FPC out of the socket.

    • If the FPC doesn't come out easily, you haven't yet released it. Do not force it. Do not use a spudger because it will break the socket. A broken socket cannot be fixed and has to be replaced by a skilled technician.

    • Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove two 3mm screws on the pop-up flash.

    and unclip the top hat of the pop-up flash, then push the flash back in place.

    This is needed to be able to remove completely the top cover.

    • Pry the top cover button assembly off of the camera body by detaching clips around the base of it.

    first, detach the ZIF connector

    be careful when detaching the top cover : there's a small metallic part that is loose and will fall.

    This part is a ~10mm bent metal strip, with a screw hole.

    When in place it holds with the long screw from the battery compartment (step 8)

    • Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove two 3mm screws on the left and one 5mm screw on the right from the front panel.

    I got

    - two 4mm screws on the left (golden-ish)

    - one 3mm screw on the right (silver)

    (rather than “two 3mm and one 5mm”)

    • Separate the front cover and focus ring assembly from the front of the camera. Use a plastic spudger to detach the ZIF connector holding the ribbon cable connected to the focus assembly.

    That ZIF connector in step 12 was really hard to detach so I think I broke one of those little holders for it. Is there any replacement ribbon with those holders? What are my options?

    Bartol Filić - Réponse

    actually it's not a ZIF connector, so don't try to pull/push the grey “box”, you'll break it.

    It's a basic connector/socket : just gently pull the ribbon.

    you can see it for example (at 7”20’)
