Awesome guide! Compleated my LCD replacement in about 15 minutes (with the help of my daughter Nicole). I was able to pickup a non-working sd450 (came with a battery and charger) for $20 off ebay.

Thank you!

only thing missing was to lift the black lock when removing ribbon cable, and then closin git again upon reinstall.

Other than that, these were perfect !!! thanks

It is been awhile, but from what I remember, you should try to hinge the case where the clip is, i.e. spread it at the bottom. This should release the clip.

Also, the clip is metal, so there shouldn’t be any problem breaking it.

Any suggestion how to help release the upped top clip when removing the case?… I’m too afraid of breaking the clip. Done that before on other failure camera repairs :). Does the clip CATCH from underside or top side?… thanks again!

Thanks for the disassembly/fix tutorial, it’s appreciated!

While my camera’s LCD has (somehow) survived all these years, the ‘metal clip’ that holds the front and back together at the top has always been loose. I took the camera apart to see if it was bent and it didn’t seem to be out of place at all – Have you seen any problems with the top bezel (starting where the AIAF logo is) being loose or noticed a good fix for it?

Thx! Super tutorial, even though I received only the lcd without the backlight , I managed to replace it using only this tutorial.
To replace the LCD only, you do not need to detach the flat cable for the backlight. Just ‘unclip’ the LCD from it’s housing and replace it carefully.
Worked like a charm!
