Nikon Coolpix P90 Eyepiece Replacement

소개

The purpose of this guide is to replace the eyepiece (plastic rectangular piece around the viewfinder) of a Nikon Coolpix P90 if it is loose, broken, or lost.

In steps 3-4, 6-7, and 9, there are three data connection ribbons which need to be carefully removed before the repair can continue. Failure to remove these ribbons properly will result in them becoming damaged or ripped, thereby permanently damaging your camera. So, please be careful and go slowly during this repair. Take a look at this guide on Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors for helpful information on safely disconnecting the connectors in this guide.

Before you begin this repair, be sure that your camera is off, the battery is removed, and it is disconnected from the charger.
