Introduction

A simple, but effective and lasting DIY repair.

You'll need

-a small phillips screwdriver

-a thick guitar string. (I used a light gauge G) THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH PLAIN WIRE! Don't use anything bigger than a .8mm and no smaller than a .6mm string.

    • Cut a thick guitar string to about 1" in length

    • Create a very slight "U" curve 1/2" long, leaving 1/4" of straight wire on each side of the curve.

    • Be sure that the straight ends of the wire are in line with each other.

    • Remove the battery door by opening, then pulling it from the slots on the camera.

    • Remove the screws on the battery door.

    • Then remove the release switch from the door

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
