Not enough detail to be really useful. For example,doesn't mention how to reconnect the ribbon strip. To be fair, no one else says how to be sure it's connected properly either.

The trick to reconnecting the orange ribbon is to bend back the ribbon from its natural position so it sticks out a bit then to put the plastic body almost back in position, leaving the gap open like a partially opened book. The ribbon and socket should be almost aligned. The gap should be just enough to see in and poke about with a small tweezers. I needed a decent light and glasses to carefully align the ribbon into its receptacle. I used a small fine pair of tweezers to push (not grab!) the ribbon into place. Make sure the ribbon is correctly inserted and aligned then carefully gently flip the securing clip with the the tweezer and moving along the clip push it gently to secure the ribbon. Dont push too hard, it wont help! Next carefully manipulate the shell over the main body making sure it is aligned at back of the camera with the screw holes all lined up. Put just a couple of screws in to stabilize the loose shell then pop in the battery to check operation of the screen and buttons.
