Excellent guide, but I could not get plastic part off without likely damage, so had to abandon access to sensor dirt.

A closer look (zoomed in) at the photo illustration for Step 10 provides a helpful view of the back side of the detached lens assembly, which would normally be positioned directly in front of the camera’s sensor.

The interface point between these two component parts (lens assembly / sensor) suggests the possibility that a gap could form between them if/when the camera gets bumped, struck, dropped, etc, and thus provide a potential entry point for random dust / lint to migrate inside, which I suspect is what happened to my own HX80 camera. I bought it 4 years ago (2018) and it’s served me well until just a few days ago, when the blur-spot issue arose.

The insight into the camera’s internal construction shown in Step 10’s illustrative photo gives me hope that the dust spec likely causing the blurred spot on my camera’s photos and videos is located between the lens assembly & sensor and can be blown away using compressed air, once I manage to open up the camera.

I’m stuck on step 7. The plastic covers on the left side (viewing the camera as you would hold it to take a picture) and on the bottom are separating from the rest of the camera; the left side cover is attached by a thin wire. But I cannot separate the back with the LCD panel from the front with the lens.

It’s unclear whether the battery compartment is supposed to stay with the front of the back of the camera. It appears to stay with the front on the left side (from the photographer’s point of view) and move with the back on the right side.
