Step 2: Remove Screws
Unscrew all nine screws on the outside of the camera
using a Phillips screw driver. There are two 2.8 mm
screws on the left side of the camera and four 2.8 mm
screws on the right side of the camera. Flip over the
camera and on the bottom there should be three 4.1
mm screws. Make sure to not lose any of the screws, we
used a piece of tape to keep them all together.
Make sure to be careful when removing the screwsMake sure to be careful when removing the screws
as to not strip any of them.as to not strip any of them. If you strip one of the
screws it becomes very dicult to remove. But there are
solutions to get the screws out if you do strip them so do
not fret. The next step has solutions for stripped screws,
if you did not strip any screws feel free to skip this step.

Step 3: Stripped Screw?
If you have stripped one of the screws here are a few possible solutions to try and unscrew the stripped screw.
Use a Phillips screw driver that is slightly too big for the size screw you have. Press down hard and at a
slight angle and turn normally.
Instead of using a Phillips cross-head screw use a Phillips at-head screw driver. Make sure it is an
appropriate size and press down hard when unscrewing, there is usually enough grip for this to work.
Take a wide rubber band and place it over the stripped screw. Try to unscrew the screw slowly and
pushing very hard, this will give the screwdriver more of a grip on the screw
Worse comes to worse, if it is only one screw you will most likely be able to open the case enough to replace the screen. If
you can then leave the screw in and continue with the following steps.

Step 4: Open Casing
Step 5: Disconnect the ZIF Connector
Once you have unscrewed all of the screws you will need to open the casing of the camera. In the case of this camera, we
accidentally stripped one of the screws and were unable to take it out. As a result we could not fully open the casing,
however it was open enough to allow us to remove the screen successfully.
Using tweezers, carefully remove the ZIF connector. The ZIF connector is what is connecting the ribbon cables, which are
connected to the LCD screen, to the motherboard. Although you will no longer need this being careful as important as
to not damage anything inside of the camera. After you have taken out the ZIF connector you can easily remove the LCD
screen.

Step 6: Put the New Screen In
Once you remove the LCD screen, prepare the new screen to be put in. It can be dicult to put the ZIF connector back in
so take your time. Make sure the LCD screen is facing the right direction when putting it in, screen facing outward. Once
it is in you will have to slightly bend the connector to get it to t in the case.

Step 8: Put Back the Battery In
Take all of the 8 screws and screw them back in.
Put a battery in your camera as shown above and turn the camera on! It should be working successfully.
