NIkon Coolpix A900 I/O Cover Replacement

Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the I/O Cover on the Nikon Coolpix A900.

The I/O cover may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear. Because it is a silicon part, it is prone to ripping after heavy periods of use.

You may not need the spudger listed in the tool section as it is possible to do it with just your fingers.
