    • Remove the four highlighted 3.0 mm Philips #0 screws on the bottom of the camera.

    Worth mentioning, the top circled screw was a 6mm on my camera. The other 3 were 3mm.

    • While pulling the bottom down, remove the back of the camera.

    • Be careful not to pull too hard on the back as it is connected via a ribbon cable. Be sure to disconnect this cable on the main board.

    • To disconnect the ribbon cable pull the small black tab upward and pull gently on the cable.
