Some of the ribbon connectors are fiddly. Here's how to get the worst of them back in.

The first one connects on the underside of the mainboard. The first three images show how to get it in to place: push down on it gently until it pops into the socket, then push it forwards into it. There is no fastener, it just slides firmly in and out.

The fourth image shows the grey AF/EVF wires fed propery past the casing, ribbon and mainboard. I had to disconnect and reconnect the underside ribbon to do this :) Image five shows the connector plugged back in.

At this point, you should also screw in the two main fixings that sit below the flash unit and the mode dial. The longer of the two screws goes in the right hand hole.

Image six shows all the ribbons back in place. Ready for the last ones?
