Introduzione

If your Nikon Coolpix P4 does not turn on after charging it or replacing the battery, you may need to replace the motherboard. This guide will tell you how to replace your Nikon Coolpix P4 motherboard.

The motherboard is what operates communications between the different parts of the camera. It is also what controls the entire camera. A faulty or broken motherboard will prevent your camera from working.

Before beginning, make sure you have a new motherboard ready to replace the old one, turn off your camera, make sure it's not plugged into the charger, and remove the battery.

    • Once the door clicks, you can open it to reveal the slots holding the memory card and the battery.

    • Focusing on the larger slot, this holds the battery. Push the orange tab away from the slot, this will eject the old battery if one was previously inside.
