Introduction

The LCD screen is an essential component of a camera. If the LCD screen stops working, the camera can no longer be used. In this repair guide, you will learn how to replace the LCD screen on the Nikon Coolpix L820 camera.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the battery before beginning.
Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws on the front casing. There are 10 screws around the casing. 3 are located on the left side of the camera, 6 are located on the bottom near the product label, and 1 is located on the right side of the camera.

Step 2

Next, remove the screw held on top of the camera above the Nikon logo.
Moving to the bottom of the camera, open the empty battery slot, and locate the 4 screws in the compartment. Begin removing the 4 screws located within.

Step 3

Using the spudger, begin prying the case from the device, carefully separating the rear housing from the camera assembly. Once the rear housing is separated, the camera's physical buttons will be accessible for replacement.
Be sure to only apply pressure to the casing panels, not internal electronics. Doing so can damage the internal components of the camera.

Step 4

Remove the front casing around the LCD screen from the camera.
Avoid putting pressure or moving the exposed wires. This can damage them and cause lasting issue to the camera.

Step 5

Using the tweezers shown in the materials list, lift the hinges connecting the two ribbon wires to the camera. The wires will unlatch from the device.
