If your camera forgets all its settings as soon as you remove its battery it is most likely caused by a faulty internal battery. In this guide I will show you how to replace it for the p7000 model.

Please do this at your own risk, even though losing settings might be annoying. The risk of damaging the camera might not be worth the fix.

During my initial disassembly of the camera I lost track of the location of the different screws. Don't make the same mistake. There are three lengths of screws, note where they all come from.

This fix will also require soldering. If you are not comfortable, I would not attempt this fix. The part is small and mistakes could cost you your camera. The second picture is of the battery we are chasing, this should give you an idea of the size we are working with.
