Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Rear Case Replacement

Step 1 Battery

• Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera.
• Push the latch on the outside of the battery door to the right to get to the battery pack inside.
Step 2

• Pull the brown latch on the inside of the battery door towards your palm (to the left). The battery pack should pop out (battery not pictured).
• Now remove the battery pack from the camera with your fingers.
Step 3 Rear Case
• Remove the two Phillips #000 screws, length 5 mm, on either side of the viewfinder.
• Remove the one Phillips #000 screw, length 4 mm, on the bottom, closer to the back side of the camera.
Step 4
• Remove the two Phillips #000 screws, length 3 mm, on the left side of camera.
• Remove the Phillips #000 screw, length 4 mm, located between the two 3 mm screws.
• Remove the two Phillips #000 screws, length 4 mm, on the bottom left corner of the camera.
Step 5
• Find the "A/V Out Digital" charging station and lift up the flap.
• Remove the two Phillips #000 screws, length 5 mm, that are under the "A/V Out Digital" flap.
• Remove the one Phillips #000 screw, length 5 mm, that is outside the "A/V Out Digital" flap.
Step 6
• Use the plastic opening tool to carefully start lifting up the camera's left-side panel. Then use your fingers to pry off the rest.
Step 7
• Make sure the LCD screen panel, the battery compartment door, and the 'A/V Out Digital" flap are all open.
• Using your fingers, carefully pry off the back encasement (you may need to use a plastic opening tool to help you).
• Do not remove the back casing too far or too quickly. There is a wire ribbon attaching the back encasement to the motherboard that is very delicate.
Step 8
• Find the orange wire ribbon attaching the back encasement to the I/O board in the lower right-hand corner of the camera (lens facing away).
• Carefully lift up the brown clip holding the wire ribbon in place and pull the ribbon out of the clasp with your fingers or tweezers.
• Be cautious when the removing the wire ribbon; it is very delicate.
Step 9
• Now you can completely separate the back encasement from the rest of the camera.
