What you need

While holding the camera, take note of each screw holding the screen to the main chassis of the camera.

Hold the camera upright and lens facing towards you. There area total of six 4mm PH00 screws to undo - two on the left, one screw on the right, and three along the bottom. Two of them are hidden behind the battery compartment door.

-
-
With the screws removed, use the plastic opening tool to gently pry the screen away from the main camera chassis. The ideal spot to start is at the corner with the headphone jack, as indicated in the picture.
-
Once this side is free, gently work your way along the edge, all the way around the camera body.

-
-
After removing the screen and battery to access to the inside of the camera, take note of the two main assemblies inside-- the lens apparatus and the main motherboard. The lens assembly is on the left hand side.

There are three small silver screws (4mm PH00) to remove.

With the three screws removed, take note of the two ribbon cables connecting the lens assembly to the main motherboard.
-
Use the tweezers to remove the two green strips of tape protecting the connectors.
-
Use the plastic opening tool to release the black clips locking in the ribbon cables, then use the tweezers to gently pull the ribbon cables away from the main motherboard.

Now that you've removed the battery, screen, and lens assembly, you are ready to continue inremoving the motherboard.
-
There are small ribbon cables connected to the motherboard. Use your plastic opening tool and gently pry the sides of the connectors away from the motherboard. Tuck them away to prevent damaging them when removing the motherboard.

After removing the ribbon cables, take note of the screws holding the motherboard into the main chassis of the camera.

There are two types of screws to remove. The four (2mm, PH00) circled in red have a fat head, and go in the gold contact.
-
The three (4mm, PH00) screws marked in green have a skinny head.
-
Use the IFIXIT screwdriver and PH0 bit to remove all the screws holding the motherboard.

-
With all the screws removed, use the plastic opening tool to gently pry the headphone jack away from its casing. That jack holds the motherboard in place.

Next, gently slide the plastic opening tool underneath the motherboard. Move your fingers underneath and use your hands to completely remove it.

Having completed the previous guides up to this point you should be left with the chassis and internal frame exposed

First remove the silver trim bezel on the battery-door side which should pop straight out. The silver trim on the flash side requires the removal of two hidden screw (2mm, PH00) on the underside of the top of the camera. one is above the lense hole, and the other is by the spring on the flash side of the camera. They are marked in red.

With the screw removed, gently pull up on the silver trim to release one side. It will still be attached to the camera until the next step.
