Introduction

This guide will help the user remove the camera battery if it failed in operation. It is also a prerequisite guide for replacement of internal parts of the camera. Ensure the camera is powered off prior to battery removal.

  1. YfDDikOFuslTPEV4

    • Ensure the camera is powered off prior to removal of the battery. The LCD screen will have no information displayed if the camera is properly turned off.

    • Place the camera upside down with the top sitting on a flat surface.

    • Using your fingers, slide the door lock to the unlock position.

  2. dJ1x424R4HwTsGQx

    • Open the battery compartment door.

    • Remove the battery from the compartment by turning the camera upside down and allow it to slide out. Be sure to catch the battery as it slides out.

    • If you are replacing internal camera parts, stop here. If you are replacing the old battery, continue with step 2.

    • Sony recommends the use of an approved battery for maximum performance. The recommended battery model number is NP-FG1.

    • Insert the new battery into the compartment matching the positive battery lead to the positive terminal and the negative battery lead to the negative terminal on the camera.

    • Close and lock the battery door and power the camera up. Ensure to check the battery charge levels and that all functions of the camera work properly.

    Hi all, In the battery compartment there is a tiny blue plastic tab in the upper left hand side (when lens faces forward).

    Gently press to the left to release battery - then it will fall out! (This definitely applies to the DSC-HX9V in my hand.)

Hello @jetblast Thanks for this guide. Flash of my HX9V is not working properly. It actaully popus up but doesn’t throw the white light. I got it checked in the Sony Service center and this is what they suggested me to change: http://prntscr.com/qidtm4 Can anyone identity these two parts and from where I can get them? Also, any repaid guide available on how to change the flash?

Thanks in advance!
