Remove the eyecup and then the small screws (approx. 3 mm) as marked in the image.

Carefully peel off the rubber thumb grip—there is another screw underneath it (see the red circle in image 3). Remove this screw.

Remove the additional screws marked in the red circle.

Remove the screws in the area of the red markings to remove the motherboard.

In image 2, additional connectors are marked (red, orange, yellow, blue, and black squares). Carefully disconnect these so that you can remove the motherboard completely and replace it if necessary.
