Ricoh Gr1v disassembly?

[ncc1701]

Anyone have diagrams or service manuals.

Have a really dusty viewfinder, want to clean out.

Thanks

I too, am suffering from dust and would second the request if there's anyone out there who has access to the disassembly sequence.

ANYONE? Wow, for such a cult cam, amazed not one response.

Oh well...

Taking the top plate off is a fairly easy job. There are two screws in the compartment and one (or two, it's been a while so I can't remember clearly) under the leatherette.

Front leatherette or back right side panel? Afraid to ruin it!

Front, if memory serves. The one I worked on has databack on the side so no screw there.

You can always stick it back with ease.

I could be wrong. There might be a screw on the side as well, I suggest u carefully pry some part of the leatherette off to inspect before doing anything big.

Great thanks, easy enough but weary due to the $400 I just payed for my GR1v!
I hope the lcd lasts! Seems more intense than a few screws.

Viewfinder All clean, thanks all!
