      • To remove the flash assembly, disconnect the flex cable connection, then move the flash unit out of the way.

      • Exercise caution when handling the flash unit, as there is minimal plastic protection preventing an electric shock.

Great guide. My camera broke, couple of weeks back. The lens was extended and it won't retract. It just gives the lens error message. Orders a replacement lens from eBay fro $35 and used this guide to replace it.

There is a step missing, on removing the flash, one side screw and one front, above the lens, otherwise perfect. thank you so much, just as above I had a lens error and ordered a replacement for 14£ from ebay. all works now. thanks.

Is there no other 'fix' without replacing the lens assembly on this particular "Lens error "issue?

@profeduards: try to reseat the flexes from the aperture and IS. You can disassemble the lens to reset the position and/or remove sand but make lots of pictures of the process, and mark (with pencil) a line over the rings (from the front) to know what ring goes where when reassembling. It's possible to reassemble without (as I did, lens was extended so i couldnt) but the process is long, arduous and takes a lot of patience.

Thanks, my Lens was bricked, and with a new Lens kit @15$ from china, it was fixed.
