Introduction

This guide explains how to replace the Nikon COOPIX P7700 LCD display screen.

Tools

Phillips #00 Screwdriver

Step 1

Push down and slide the lock of the battery compartment to the unlock position.
The battery door should pop open.
Remove the battery.

Step 2

Open the camera LCD screen so it's away from the body of the camera.

Step 3

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver and remove the 4.3 screw on both the top and bottom of the screen casing.

Step 4

Place the camera lens-side down and twist the screen so that it is perpendicular to the camera.
Remove the 4.3 mm screw on the side of the casing using the Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Twist the screen in the other direction and remove the other 4.3 mm screw.
These screws are very brittle! Be careful not to strip the screws. If you find that one has become stripped, follow this guide.

Step 6

Replace the LCD display.

OK, OK…but how to remove the display itself????

But the ribbon cable goes into the camera ... that's only half the repair ... what's the point?

One comment

Do NOT follow this guide. There are numerous details left out of step 6 and there’s no troubleshooting guide. Most importantly, there’s no warning that this kind of repair really isn’t meant to be done by laypeople and that it’s to be done at the user’s own risk. These instructions don’t equip someone for this delicate task that, if done wrongly, can waste a lot of time and damage the camera, as happened in my case.
