Ricoh YF-20 Super Button Mechanism Replacement

소개

This guide is to replace the button mechanism for your Ricoh YF-20 Super. If the mechanism becomes faulty, this guide will show you how to replace the part and fix the mechanism.

Before we start, know that inside your camera, there's a special part that makes the buttons work. Over time, this part can get old or broken, making the buttons act funny. Keep in mind that this will require careful disassembly.

To get to this part, we need to take off the camera's outer covers. This means unscrewing some screws and gently separating the covers. Inside, we'll find the button part, usually near the top or front of the camera.

Watch out for any extra screws or clips holding the button part in place. We'll need to remove these before we can switch out the part.

Good luck with replacing the button mechanism on your Ricoh YF-20 Super! This guide aims to replace the button mechanism efficiently.
