Remove L35AF's top plate

[p.giannakis]

Hi everyone.

I got a Nikon L35AF last week and it is in good condition except from the viewfinder that is very cloudy. Does anyone know how to remove the top plate? Is there a repair manual anywhere out there?

Thanks!

Actually, it's front and back halves. And I haven't had to take mine apart, but this is what I can see.

Three screws hold on the Bottom Cover. Watch out for the Re-winder Switch.

Four screws hold on the Back Cover. One above the door hinge; one next to the viewfinder; two on the left end as you look at the back of the camera.

Inside the film chamber, there are two screws holding the canister spring that may also be retaining the Front Cover

To the right of the Take-up Spool, there are two screws.

After removing these four screws, the Front Cover should detach from the camera. Watch for the Shutter Release Button, and Self Timer Switch/Indicator Light.

It may seem easy enough to just remove the four screws inside the camera body, but it's been my experience with P&S cameras that they are assembled from the front to the back, and should be disassembled in the opposite fashion.
