• Remove the battery and SD Card from their slots. Leaving these in could cause the battery to ground and ruin the electronics.
• Unscrew the six screws on the casing. Two are on the bottom as pictured; two more are on each side of the camera.

Followed the steps and replaced the broken screen. Now I get only a white screen when turning the camera on. It does take pictures but it won’t show anything but a little red dotted arrow on the right hand side over the white screen. Do you have a clue of what is happening?
