Nikon Coolpix L18 LCD Screen Replacement

Step 1 Back Cover

• Remove the memory stick from the camera.
• Remove the batteries from the camera.
Step 2



• Remove all six 4.3mm silver screws along the perimeter of the camera using the Phillips #00 screwdriver.
• There is one screw hidden under the AV cover that also needs to be removed.
Step 3
• Pry the back cover from the left side of the camera. Remove the cover gently.
Step 4 LCD Screen
• CAUTION! This is where energy for the flash is stored. Even with batteries removed, if you touch these connections, you can be shocked, depending on if the flash capacitor has a stored charge. It may not have a stored charge, but work around this assuming it does.
• Newer cameras of descent quality usually have a bleeder resistor to drain the flash capacitor. This may not work anymore and the flash capacitor may still have a charge.
Step 5
• Remove the tape on the right side of the LCD screen.
• Gently lift the LCD screen from its base.
• Don't tug on the screen because it is still connected to the logic board.
Step 6
• Lift the black latch connecting the LCD ribbon to the logic board.
• Gently pull the LCD ribbon out.
