This guide is NOT COMPLETE. THere are several missing screws that need to be removed.

2 from the viewfinder,

and 2 from the IO ports….

Do not follow this and force the back open or you will need more repair!

Hi, I followed every step and replaced the LCD screen but when turned on the camera, I only got a yellow horizontal line. Do you know what could have gone wrong? Thank you.

Hi, excellent guide but I’ve a problem.

I’m need to buy a lcd display. Do you know where can I buy ? Can you recommend me one store to buy it?

Tom Kane - Jan 2, 2019

@nickmorales I found the lcd display as well as the connected controller card ar eBay.

I had problems connected the actual LCD component to the controller card, as seen in step 9. We need more illustrations for actually connecting the ribbon cables (plural!) and for actually mounting the LCD and the controller card.
