Step 6

              Removal of rear metal frame
  • The next steps describes the removal of the black metal frame.
  • Be careful, do not touch the open contacts on the left side (pink)! You will be surprised by a “wake-up” electrical shock even 15 minutes after turning off the camera. The flash-condenser still holds enough energy!
  • Start on the right side of the camera. There is a small black plastic clip (yellow) which has to be lifted up a little bit. Slowly and carefully begin to separate the rear metal frame from the camera body.
  • A critical part is the very slim plastic cover on top (green). The red marker will show you in which direction you have to move this sensitive plastic part.

Step 7

              LCD display / control panel replacement
  • Taking off the control panel is not that easy: The panel has two small metal clips at the bottom and one on the top which holds the panel in position. Slightly move the control panel to the top for release.
  • Pull the flat cable out of its socket and remove the control panel.

Step 8

              LCD display
  • The LCD display is only laying on the grey insulation foil and has its grounding connection by the yellow marked cupper spring.
  • The display has two flat cables connected to the mother board. You have to pull out these cables.
  • You´re done!

I had a big black area on the screen and replaced it with a new one. I did exactly what was described here, but now the new display just stays dark, like it would not get any power. Rest of the cam still works fine. The copper clamp is there to give the display grounding connection. Then put in the old display again and that one now also stays black. Any idea what I could do or check?

Found the solution… the little clamping mechanism that should be opened before pushing the flat cables back into the connectors on the motherboard. Without doing that, the cable does not slip in far enough and as a result the display stays dark. Maybe worth an update? Thanks!
