Repair Loose Cable to Resolve Common Issues

はじめに

There are several situations to consider:

The camera automatically enters replay mode.
Some buttons are disabled.
Even though the camera is fully charged, it shows a low battery warning when you attempt to use it.

These issues are primarily caused by poor design, specifically the inadequate number of screws used to fix the camera in place.

Please remove the five small screws located on the bottom panel.
First, you need to open the battery cover, and then lift off the bottom panel from the narrow end on the battery panel side.
Please remove the two screws on each side, making a total of four screws to be removed.
Carefully and gently separate the back panel from the body, ensuring that you do not need to completely detach the back panels

There will be two flexible printed circuit (FPC) cables.
One of the FPC cables is wide and yellow in color, which corresponds to the screen cable. The other FPC cable is narrow and blue in color, which is connected to the control switch panel.
You can only disconnect the narrow blue FPC cable. Unlike the screen cable, the connector for the control switch panel is loosely connected without any locking mechanism. Therefore, the issue is likely caused by frequent use, which has resulted in a loose connection over time.
Before reinserting the cable, I recommend cleaning the golden contacts (which are actually black in color).
