Introduction
Removing the back cover can be useful if you need to replace it if the screen is broken or if there is some other issue with it. The back cover can also be broken down further, allowing replacement of individual parts found on the back cover assembly if you are able to find individual replacement parts. This guide will not cover disassembly of the back cover itself however, and will only show you how to remove the back cover from the camera.
