Introduction

Step 1

Start by removing all the screws visible on the body of the device.

Bottom view: wrong screw marked next to the tripod thread! Loosen all the screws around the tripod thread except of the marked one.

Step 2

Once all the screws are removed, gently lift the back of the device as it is connected to the motherboard by two ribbon cables.
Remove the screws and then, the metal protection plate.
Disconnect the ribbon cables from the motherboard by gently lifting the plastic valves.
Then, remove the mounting screws from the motherboard. Remove the motherboard but be careful, as it is still connected to the frame with the speaker wires.

Step 3

Now, remove the top cover.
Remove the screw which still maintains the frame. You will find it behind this red circle.
All you have to do now is to remove the optical unit, it comes more easily when pulling it up.
Your device is disassembled with success and you now have access to all its components.

Conclusion

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

Thanks very much for your hard work on this. I have a P7000 whose memory card slot isn’t recognizing cards. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like the card slot is part of the battery housing. Would you be able to confirm this?

Thanks

Thank you!!! Is there a way to replace the internal battery? Is it present? My p7000 no longer keeps the date/time and settings memory whenever I remove the EN-EL14 battery...

i Have the same issue, Did you fix yours? I think my the issue is related to the Lithium-ion flash capacitor.

But I'm struggling to find that specific part.
