Introduction

Use this guide to replace the back cover of your Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera, which houses the back panel buttons and LCD screen.

What you need

Remove the eleven 3 mm screws securing the covers to the ZS3.
Using too much pressure when removing the screws may strip the screws and complicate screw removal at a later time.

Ask FixBot

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry apart the back cover from the rest of the unit as shown.
Be sure to carefully and slowly lift the back cover. Forcefully lifting the back cover and fully separating it at this point may ruin internal connections.

Ask FixBot

Using your fingernail or a spudger, flip up the ZIF locking flap on the two LCD ribbon cable sockets that connect the back cover to the rest of the unit.
Be sure you are opening the locking tab, not pulling against the socket mounted to the board.
