10) Flip the main board over and remove the two screws which hold the switch board in place.
Also, peel awa the copper film from the bottom of the LCD. Note: Directl above the left
screw, the copper film is soldered to the main board. Tr not to tear the copper from the main
board, but if it happens, it should be OK, the board will still operate. I think the copper film is
just for EMI noise emissions, not reall critical if it get torn.
11) Now, pull up on the switch board and it should come
right out. Flip it over. You will see the connector. The pin numbers are marked on the header,
Pin 1 is on the lower left, pin 2 the lower right, pin 9 the top left, pin 10 the top right.

wires as shown. MAKE SURE WHEN SOLDERING THE WIRE THAT YOU DO NOT
SHORT TO NEARBY PINS!!!

main board.
15) Now ou will see the two screws that hold the lens holder in place. Remove them and
remove the lens. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE CMOS SENSOR ELEMENT
WHICH IS UNPROTECTED!!!

16) Now simpl replace the old lens with the new lens. Be sure to use the screws that come with
the new lens because the are longer and hold the lens better.
17) The new lens is taller than the original, so then lens protector on the front case of the camera
will need to be removed. Also, the hole the lens hole in the case front will need to be widened to
allow the new lens to fit though. The last picture below shows the lens hole after it has been
widened

18) Now it is time to re-assemble the camera. Attach the gre lcd holder back onto the main
