At {STEP 7} you will notice the last parts to release are the flash button / record button areas. This is particularly tricky.
The flash button release seems to be attached inside, so take care. In my case I did not remove the back case completely due to this.
The corner where the record button is requires extra force to slide down / pry out.
Re-assembly : Take note of these parts.
- the PLAY button flexible circuit has a small hole which fits into a pin on the back case. It is important to align this correctly or your play & AEL button may not function.
- The eye piece has a flexible circuit on its right side which tucks behind a small tab - take care this is not dislodged or it could be damaged when re assembling.
Can you please let me know how to replace the battery door? Thank you.
