Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 Lens Assembly Replacement

Introduzione

This guide will teach you how to replace or clean a lens assembly in a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-WX350

Use the J00 screwdriver to take out the four 3mm black screws on the bottom and both sides of the camera.

On the bottom of the camera slide the button over to open the battery case. Inside the battery opening use the J00 screwdriver to take out the single 3mm black screw.

Use the J00 screwdriver to take out the single 3mm black screw on the left side of the camera .

Use your fingers to slide out the controller wheel board 's lower end, then unhook the other end.

Don’t REMOVE the zif connector like on the picture!

To open the zif connector:

- this is the black (or the brun part on the other connector) part that pivots, the white part don’t move

- I prefer to use my thumb(s) and my fingernail(s) to control the force

- put your thumb on the side of the camera, just in front of the white part, to avoid the camera to slide toward yourself

- slide you fingernail below the black part

- if you have small finger, you can use both hand to reduce the effort on the zif

- lift up the black part, that will pivot and terminate at 90° angle with the white part

Once the LCD is off use the J00 screwdriver to take out the two 3mm silver screws. Once the screws are taken out pull off the piece with your fingers.

Now take out the 3 zifs by first opening the zif latch with your fingers and then sliding it out.

In order to access the CCD, loosen the 3 screws holding its metal lid.
In order to access the lens mechanics, take out the 4 3mm screws on the edge of the lid, then the single 3 mm screw next to the motor.

Pull out the cogwheel with the drive unit.
Now you can access the lens inner mechanics. You might wanna cover the CCD and the inner lens opening with tape to prevent dust from entering before you try to clean anything.
