Using the T5 Torx screwdriver, remove all four 4mm screws.

Remove the upper cover (connected by glue) and unscrew the single Philips screw.
Start with a metal spuge from the buckle on the lens-side and work your way from there.
Its not necessary to remove the whole thing - cause the side on the other buckle tends to break.

-
Remove two Philips screws from the bottom cover, lift gently the cover and remove the single Philips screw under it.
In the case of my camera, I had to move the plat that says “EAC…” to the side. Underneath was another small Philips screw that I had to remove before I could take off the back panel

Carefully remove the back cover from the camera body.

The back cover is connected to the main board with two flexible flat cables (FFC). The connectors on the board have lids that lock the cables, so first lift the lids with a plastic tip, then tear the cable with no force aut of the connector.

Did this to inspect the inside of the zoom lever, which is broken and will (only with difficulty) zoom in, and won't (at all) zoom out.
Followed the instructions to the letter but, after all screws removed, was unable to get the back panel separated from the body of the camera. Either there is glue, or some sort of latching mechanism present - or something missing in the description. Didn't want to break anything completely, as camera is still just about usable - so I gave up. I don't think the camera will be water-proof any more after this.
