Could you describe how to disassemble and assemble the lens curtain - th esix leaves and two springs that cover the lens when the lens is retracted into the camera? I’ve tried to assemble it, but end up with the mechanism only closing 2/3rd way. It opens fine. I want to replace my scratched lens with an unscratched one, but the new one is the one with the curtain problem. Thank you!
Although its more than a year since your contribution, I thought you might be amused to know that it is not just that the screws go in more easily when at an angle, Apple actually drilled and tapped the holes at a 15% angle. I too had tried to drive them in straight. An Apple "genius" - I was in for something else - clarified the design for me. It was done so that the screws lay flush on the angled part of the lower case. Nice design, but since Apple encourages DIY memory and drive changes, they could have mentioned this little ... trap.
