Step 4Installation of New LCD
This is the most difficult part of the instructable. I spent more time on the last part of this step than any other part of the project. There may be a better way to do this, but it would likely require further disassembly of the camera.
- Place the LCD overtop the backlight, holding it out from the body of the camera
- Fold and twist the ribbon cable from the side of the LCD behind the backlight and down the body of the camera towards the bottom of the camera (there is a groove in the metal backing)
- Set the backlight and LCD into place, overtop the cable, by sliding them below the metal snaps / framing
- Fold the free end of the ribbon cable over and insert it into the connector slot inside the camera body. This is quite difficult. If you decide to use a grasping tool (optional) be careful not to damage the ribbon cable or the leads. Again, I found that wiggling (after initial direct force) worked well.
