Hello!

Nice help to open the camera for fixing viewfinder problems: when not switching on, even when FINDER/MONITOR mode on FINDER, there might be a bad contact in the visor connector. It is a snap lock micro connector, open the lock, then carefully remove clean and replace ribbon cable:this may clear the trouble.

But attention: At least on HX9O without V ext. there are some more screws ;-) and niceties

  • one in step 3, under the MULTI connector cap

  • 3 on different places to remove LCD screen

Also, there is also an antenna , connected to the LCD assembly and lightly glued on the side
