    • Watch out for the orange ribbon that is still attached to the back cover when you lift it up. It is very delicate and might rip.

    • Slowly lift the back cover straight up, lightly jiggling it if necessary.

    • Remove the battery compartment cover.

    • Gently insert the spudger under the clip holding the orange ribbon. The clip should lift up and the ribbon will slide out.

    • This step will free the back cover from the rest of the camera.

    • Pull gently when removing the speaker so you don't rip the wire attached to it.

    • Use the tweezers to grab the speaker (located on left side of the camera) and pull straight up.

    • The speaker will still be connected to the motherboard, but it will not be attached to the front case.

  7. CJOBGwLDRhQ2Oe2X

    • Use the tweezers to pull gently on the small orange ribbon, located in upper left hand corner near the flash, to remove the square insert.

    • Use your fingers to slowly pull the flash straight up.

    • Do not fully separate the motherboard unit from the front cover. There is still a ribbon attached and it will rip.

    • Slightly separate the front cover from the motherboard unit (which consists of the motherboard, speaker, screen, and battery compartment).

    • Rotate the bottom portion of the motherboard unit (the screen and battery compartment) over the lens unit.

    • Be gentle when undoing the ribbon clips. They break easily.

    • Gently stick the spudger under the ribbon clips and lift them up.

    • Use the tweezers to pull both ribbons out of the ribbon clips.

    • The motherboard unit should now be free from the rest of the camera.
