42 | h2. Display/camera disassembly |
||
43 | |||
44 | Disassembling the display/camera unit is a bit tricky. You'll need a 10mm socket (and possibly socket extension)! |
||
45 | |||
46 | Start by removing the 4 screws on the connector: |
||

||
48 | |||
49 | then remove the 3 screws in the top of the unit. |
||
50 | The sides of the display/camera unit are covered with round covers. They can be pulled out with a bit of force. |
||
51 | !{width:40%}IMG_3652.JPG! |
||
52 | |||
53 | Use a 10mm socket to unscrew the nuts on both sides. |
||
54 | Lift the connector cover. This is tricky! Please fill in a good way to do this. The author broke 2 plastic clips by doing it: |
||
55 | !{width:40%}IMG_3653.JPG! |
||
56 | |||
57 | Remove both bolts (and the washers). The swivel piece can now be bent inwards slightly with a bit of force to get it out. |
||
58 | !{width:40%}IMG_3654.JPG! |
||
59 | Unscrew the 2 remaining screws holding the display unit together. |
||
60 | |||
61 | There are clips all around the display/camera unit. Use guitar picks again and open the display. |
