Olympus Pen E-PL7: Where does the Olympus pen EPL7 grounding price go?

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 07:19:17 -0700

After following your directions for LCD replacement the LCD remains non-functional. There is a small grounding piece of metal which I cannot figure out where it came from. Your guide doesn’t mention this at all. I suspect it grounds motherboard somewhere.

Olympus Pen E-PL7: Repaired but touch screen not working

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 16:07:12 -0700

Hello all, and thanks for this great resource.

My e-pl7’s screen cracked. I ordered a replacement from aliexpress and followed the guide and it comes on now, but the touch screen doesn’t work. I have taken it apart and re-attached it several times.

During my repair, I think the ribbon ZIF connector may have been ‘truncated’ by a few pins when it was dropped, but as far as I know that’s just to secure the cable, not conduct signal. I don’t know what else could be the problem, aside from a faulty replacement part or invisible damage during the break/install. There is what looks like a grounding pin left over that @tgaines also could not find [1], but there were actually a few differences between the original and replacement part so I’m a bit lost as to how to restore the touch function.

The camera works without the touch screen, but it’s very useful for spot focus, focus tracking, and zooming, among other things.

Thanks!

Olympus Pen E-PL7: Once turned on, my Olympus is acting as if the cap was still on.

Whether the cap is on or off, the camera does not seem to detect the difference - same black screen with the1” F3.5 flashing and the non responsive shutter button, making taking pictures impossible. Anything I can do on my own to fix it?

Olympus Pen E-PL7: Where can I buy a new metal lens mount ring?

Mon, 24 Apr 2017 12:54:25 -0700

Does anyone know where you can get a spare metal lens mount ring?

Mine is bent out of shape after falling with a telephoto attached...

I tried on the internet but with no luck and it would be a pity having to purchase another entire camera (even if a broken one for scraps).

By the way I have to service a OM-D EM-5 Mk II, am I right in hoping that the metal ring is the same across all Olympus m43 cameras, or am I being naive?
