Introduction

No special tools are required for this procedure, and no soldering is involved.

Step 5

The cable is just pushed into the connector. Use a pair of hemostats or tweezers to pull it straight out. Grab it close to the connector so that the cable wont tear.
With the cable disconnected, separate the back-case from the camera.
Remove the four screws from the LCD (Liquid-crystal display).

Remove the three ribbon cables. From left to right, the cables are for the flash capacitor, the lens, and the top control buttons.
Remove the screws that hold the logic board, as well as the two long ones that attached the front case.
The screws are different sizes. Keep them separate. The two long ones will hold the front case to the camera, and they only fit in the middle of the logic board.

Step 10

With all the screws removed from the logic board, there is now still the connector from the lens. Simply separate it by bending the cable in a downward direction
The logic board is still connected to the camera via the power cables. Do not try to remove the board. Fold it over instead. If the board needs to be replaced, the two wires would have to be desoldered.
