    • Using a plastic opening pick, partially peel up the top of the back rubber grip.

    • Carefully begin lifting the back cover up away from the camera body.

    • Do not lift it all the way off. There is still a ribbon cable attaching the back cover to the main PCB board.

    • Use a plastic spudger to gently pry off the ribbon cable.

    • Use a plastic spudger to gently pry off the other cable connecting the back cover to the camera.

    • The connector tab sticks out slightly on each end of the connector, which gives you a good spot to pry the connector off.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
