Canon PowerShot A80 Back Cover Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This step-by-step guide demonstrates how to remove the back cover of the Canon PowerShot A80 camera. You may need to use this guide to access the internal components of the camera, as a prerequisite to another guide, or if the back cover breaks or cracks.

It's important to note where each screw is removed. If installed incorrectly, it may damage the camera.

TIPS:

  • Use an ice cube tray or egg carton, place each screw in its own cup.
  • Make notes on a piece of paper.

Before you begin this guide, turn off your camera and unplug it from the charger. It is also a good idea to remove the battery before you begin.

      • Remove the top lid of the camera.

      • Be cautious of the fragile mylar cable that connects the lid to the main body of the camera.

      • Removing the lid takes a little force. Do this gently. There may be a snapping sound.

      • The door to the memory card compartment will be freed and should be removable now.

      • In other versions of this camera, there is a tab that secures the top from the wrist strap. If yours has this, you won't be able to completely separate the top until you have removed the top screw in Step 8.

      • Open and pivot the LCD screen to its widest open position.

      • Remove the rear cover by pulling it straight away from the body of the camera.
