I DID IT! A couple notes: 1) You don’t need to disconnect the ribbon cables from the body. I’m new to fine electronics repair like this and I didn’t want to mess around with more cables than necessary. 2) My body doesn’t have a plastic cover over the LCD (probably why it broke…) and as such I had to reallllly pry it off. 3) Learn how to reconnect ribbon cables - I had no idea.

A couple of points. This is listed as a LCD display replacement. Says only said to buy tools… Need the LCD screen as well. No idea of cost or a link to buy same. Also, you do not show removing the screen and remounting. I appreciate all the instructions on screws, but do not feel this was complete. Thanks for your instructions to this point.

My replacement screen cost about £44 gbp pounds from China on Ebay. The main ribbon cable is released by flipping up the thin dark grey strip opposite the ribbon using a finger nail or plastic tool on the socket then you just gently pull the cable out, the thin cable is wee bit different, using a small screw driver or dentist tool just unclip and pull/push it down towards the thin ribbon cable then slide ribbon out. When all done clean the screen on the camera and fit a thin glass protector from JJC on ebay to give more protection.
