I have been wondering what path I will take when I replace my battery contacts part and this looks like an ideal guide for how I can do it. I wondered why you don’t discharge the capacitor before removing ribbon cables. When I removed the top block off my nex-6 I did discharge the capacitor as what the service manual suggested before I removed the control dial and flash ribbon cables. Before I did it I found a youtube about using wires to the discharge contacts going to a light bulb to safely discharge the capacitor. The service manual suggests using a short jig R:1 k Ω/1 W but since I don’t have access to an electronics store nearby the youtube did the trick trouble free.

I was successful with the dissembling the camera and will need to invest in a working logic board and maybe something that is part of the shutter. I was hoping the camera would be an easy fix but sometimes this isn’t this case.
