Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Here is a PL20 that has a broken LCD, as well as some other issues. The repair is straight forward. The only tools used were a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic opening tool, which is optional. This camera was actually fun to work on; it was easy and took no time at all.
