Sanyo VPC-S1415 LCD Replacement

Here is a recently acquired camera. Initial cost $3.00

Only trouble is, obviously broken LCD

Remove the carrying strip. Use a needle and some tweezers to loosen the slip knot.

Remove one screw on the right of the camera

Remove one screw on the left side of the camera

Remove the two screws on the bottom

Split the camera from the battery compartment down. You can use an opening tools, or just your fingernails, if so equipped.

This will remove the front part of the case.

Remove this screw on the right side of the camera. Keep it separate from the 4 screws previously removed. The are of different length

Remove the screw on the bottom of the battery compartment. Keep this screw with the one removed on the previous step. These two screws have a different length than all the other screws. They are the shortest ones in the camera

With those two screws removed, you can not separate the back part of the case.

Remove the screw screws that hold the LCD frame to the logic board. Keep the 3 screws separated from the rest of the screws, due to different length.

With the frame removed, the connector and LCD cable are now fully accessible. Note the to tabs on the cable and their position on the logic board.

Flip the tab on the connector carefully up and remove the LCD.

Hopefully this is what you will get after replacing the LCD and reassembling the camera in reverse order. Total replacement cost was $15 and 30 minutes of my time.
