Erin generously gave us permission to post images from her Flickr set depicting the screen repair of a Canon SD300 camera. Many thanks, Erin!
She says:
“Here are some pitcures showing how to replace your LCD on a Canon SD300. I hear they break a lot. Mine did. I used the instuctions on this website to fix my camera. My instrcutions are not very good, so go there for details, but if you want to see pictures for reference, here they are.”
Take off the front shell of the camera by unscrewing 6 screws: 2 on left, 2 on right, 2 on bottom.
Take out screw (1), lift up plastic tab (2) to help remove back shell of camera.
This is the camera after the back shell has been removed.
Gently pry off the LCD screen to separate it from the backlight and camera body.
This is what the camera looks like after you separate the LCD from the body.
The LCD ribbon is attached to the front side of the camera. Lift up the little black hinge/clasp (1) holding the end of the LCD ribbon to remove the ribbon.
Attach a strip of paper to the end of the ribbon so you can use the paper as a way to pull the new ribbon in.
This is the new screen. When the broken screen was pulled out, the paper was put in the ribbon’s place. The end of the new LCD ribbon was taped to the paper and the paper pulled the new ribbon back through.
After you plug the new ribbon end in, the new screen has to be snapped into place. Then basically screw it all back together.
