Sony Handycam DCR-SR 47 LCD Screen Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

40 minutes

Introduction

The LCD Screen is a crucial component to the playback of the camera. The camera will most likely take pictures if the LCD Screen is broken, but will be unable to show the pictures or setting options through the screen. If you wish to change the resolution settings on the camera, a broken or damaged LCD Screen must be fixed.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the battery.
Use a Philips #000 screwdriver to remove the 3mm screw under the battery.
It is recommended that you wait one hour after removing the battery before disassembling the rest of the camera.

Step 2

Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove all six of the 3mm screws located on the side of the camera.
This step seems unnecessary to initially find the hard drive, but will allow access to the attached flex cable.

Step 3

Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the three 3mm screws from under the LCD screen.

Step 4

Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the single 3mm screw on the back of the camera.
Pull away the back shell of the camera, exposing the hard drive.

Step 5

Gently pull the flex cable away from the hard drive. It should pop off with minimal effort.
The black guard is removed in the first picture. While the guard is not necessary to access the hard drive and cable, removing it can be helpful to show the cable's path.
After removing the flex cable, take off the plastic guard from the side of the hard drive.

Step 6

Use a Philips #000 screwdriver to remove the two 3mm screws on the hinge securing the screen to the body of the camera.

Step 7

Use a Philips #000 screwdriver to remove the two 3mm screws on the opposite side of the hinge.
The screen is now no longer attached to the body of the camera through screws.
