I got the digital camera today, i wanted to show everyone who was like me and did;nt know what it looked like inside the panel,
It took me quite sometime to work up the guts to get inside there and pry that cover off...
This is the cover plate on the back*
First id say you start by prying at the sides, pry with a pick and run the pick on the inside edge (not on the board inside) untill you have loosened the whole rear black plastic cover... keep in mind that you are prying on metal pins on removable plastic plate...some of the pins on your board may be bent slightly from someone pulling at wires so try to use the backing plate as a guide to strighten those spade connectors and pin connectors enabling them to slide thru the cover as you evenly pry the cover off...
This is the cover plate inside*
Second Id say you need to flip the board making sure not to loose any of the little pins.. If your careful here you will see there grooves in the inner grey plastic pin holder and when you flip the board your letting all the pins fall down into the grey holder making sure not to do it the other way around or you'll never get it back togethor...
this is the back side of the pin holder showing the pin plates sitting in there grooves*
This is the front side of the pin holder an When you flip the board this is how the pins will sit in the pin holder*
The remainder of the board is all easy you cannot remove the other parts so all you have to do is take your trusty can of duster and rubbing alcohal and clean out everything you can see... Here is the remainder of the board at this point
After you have finished cleaning everything on both sides and your sure everything is dry inside you can put it all back togethor in the order of removal...Keeping in mind that you need to build everything seperatley putting it in piece by piece onto the back cover.. Reason for this is because some of the pins will not fit into the rear backing plate when its all assembled (It fits togethor best piece by piece! Just like building puzzels////
Seal it with one of the below products...
Id clamp it in a vise very very carefully not to break the whole thing but put enough pressure for the plastic sealer to seal... Apply it only once you have the cover back on instead of fiddeling with the pins and having glue get on everything because two of the pins are hard to get in unless you build it back on the cover
Have fun!
