Thank you very much for these instructions - they enabled me to fix the camera after four repair places refused to.
(the two screws holding the shutter button in place had come loose - the button had fallen off and the loose screws inside were interfering with the zoom switch, sending the camera always to safe mode)
A couple of things: It is not necessary to remove the black screws at step 8. They hold something in place in the lens assembly, but don't prevent you from moving to step 10. Also, it is not necessary to remove the screws at step 11 - only the leftmost one in the image. If you are careful of the wires, the battery case can be folded back giving adequate access to the shutter assembly.
Also - when reassembling, be careful at step 17 that the zoom lever is positioned to be engaged with (hooked over) the lever on the brown circuit board.
It's a good and detailed instruction, but it also has mistakes (see my comments to steps 8, 11 and 15).
Thank You so much for the help! I would have never been able to replace the button without these instructions. You are a lifesaver.
Dis assembly has been educational and all ,but where do I get my new button???????
I realize the I wouldn't have been able to get this camara apart without the instructions. Very helpful and I do thank you Mr. Hicks. But I didn't want to take it apart. I want to fix it… and put it back together….and use it…perhaps just maybe take a photo or two. So please may I ask for information on obtaining a replacement capture/ zoom button assembly/ parts?????
