      • Flip up the little tan tab on the connecter of the button pad's ribbon.

      • Don't use a metal object for this step. A fingernail will do. Simply slide your fingernail under the lip and lift slowly. You may need to lift in different areas along the tab to get it all the way up.

      • In the second image the top tab is open while the bottom is closed as an example of what the two positions look like.

      • The tab is reversed for the button pad, the tan part is the tab while the black is the connector

      • Take the new button pad and orient it the same way as the old pad before it was removed.

      • Gently slide the end of the electric ribbon into the connector.

      • To make sure that the ribbon is completely in the connector give it a firm push but don't force anything. The ribbon should slide in with only a little resistance.

      • The ribbon is flexible so it may bend but take care NOT to crease it.

Where can I purchase the button assembly for this model? Does this assembly also control the lens function? When I depress the button, sometimes the lens open then closes. Thank you for your wonderful clear instructions.
