We highly suggest you use a magnetic project mat or an organization tray. This camera has many different types of screws and keeping them organized is key to proper reassembly.

    Thank you very much the detailed instruction. I should replace the whole eyecap unfortunatelly. Can you help me how could I replace it after I disassembled the camera follow your instruction? How is that part assembled?

    Thank you!

    Hi, could you share an image of exactly which piece is broken and you want to change? As I am looking at my X-T10 it does not have the usual big rubber eyecap that you can see in X-T2, DSLRs or similar cameras :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answer.

    No unfortunatelly it is not only a removable eyecap. It is the whole viewfinder cover. The material of this piece began to break down. Nobody knows why. I can share some photo with you.

    Thank you for your kindly help in advance!

    OK, I see… It does look strange.

    I will keep it in mind to do a more detailed top part dissassembly guide so you could separate that part. But since I am just a hobbyist myself I can’t give you an answer when I will find time for it :)

    Hope you understand :)

    This is a lovely camera and enjoy it while it works, luckily it is not something that stops it from working :)

    Thank you very much. Do you know when could you share the details with me? I would like to repair my camera.

    Thanks!

Hello community,

my x-t10 is broken: as soon as the camera lens attaches, the screen (also EVF) was blinking, switching on and off, after roughly 20s LCD displays "Lens Error". As described in detail in this post (https://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/8121-...), some people were able to disassemble the motherboard and change broken fuses.

Can someone help me to find the correct spare part fuse?

Is there a manual for changing fuses from a motherboard?

Unfortunately I do not have any experience with such projects.

Thanks in advance

Juri

Hi Juri,

Personally I am not a complete beginner, but was not able to identify which is a broken part.

Ended up replacing the motherboard and in the meantime made this manual.

If you feel comfortable in soldering and have patience for microscopic things try to watch some youtube videos about SMD soldering, motherobard repairs, broken fuse and capacitors identification.

You will also likely to need hot air station, as parts are really microscopic, and regular soldering iron will be too large.

Spare fuses can be found for example in DigiKey, or AliExpress.

Best of luck! and please share your experience if you manage to fix it!
I may be able to fix my old board too and make new tutorial as this seems common issue with this camera.

Does anyone know what type of fuse this mainboard uses? I saw the issue on the fuji link and figured I'd ask here. Looking to replace the fuses on mine but am not sure what Ampfuse to use. Thanks

Hi, I think I researched what each letter means, and ordered those:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/40008129...

But did not have any luck repairing the board.
Please post about what worked or not for you :)
