    It is unnecessary to completely remove the rubber from the right side of the back panel - in the next step where you remove two screws, simply lift the top right corner for access.

    • Open the covers to the HDMI/AV/MIC ports on the side of the camera by gently pulling outward on the bottom of the covers.

    • Rotate the covers to the side so that you can see the connection ports inside.

    • Remove the following screws:

    • Two silver 5mm Phillips #00

    • One black 6mm Phillips #00

    Phillips#0 seemed to be a more secure fit.

    Figure circle is not correct. Joey Fresco is right.

    the 6mm phillips #00 is under the grip.  The other 2 are 3mm.

    • A black ribbon wire connects the rear panel to the inside of the camera. Breaking this wire would make your rear screen and buttons non-functional.

    • Carefully use your fingers to tilt the back panel downward to about a 90 degree angle.

    • Use the flat end of the spudger to gently pry off the ribbon wire from the inside of the camera.

    The ribbon cable is connected to the camera via a plug (the gold colored PCB has a male plug on the other side of the PCB). This plug is at the end of the spudger. You need to pull that PCB boar/plug straight up from the camera (perpendicular to the camera)

    Jim R -

    There is a metal piece protruding from the back panel into the main body, down near the battery door. DO NOT simply bend the back panel down 90 degrees! Gently pull the entire back (including the lower right corner near the battery door) straight away from the camera about 1cm, and then lower the back panel 90 degrees.
