Fuji Finepix S5700, Replace Lcd Screen. Standard

Busted screen, buy a new one! fit it yourself at a fraction of the cost of pro repair,outside of warranties.

The finepix s5700 is my goto workhorse camera, only has 10x optical zoom so it works well in low light, macro and super macro focusing. chrome mode which accentuates saturation so the images look good online, and at 7.1mp it uploads quickly.

Dad got one for nothing all working except the screen, i decided that it is well worth repairing.

i bought a direct replacement from china, its often the cheaper on ebay than gettting the required part from a 'proper source'

i didn't spot the one by the strap at first.

and remember to remove the memory card and battery..

Your looking out of any wire ribbons or bits that fall off..

the memory card cover fell off mine.

place camera opened on surface as shown. dont tear that ribbon.

secured in place by sticky tape. peel the bit off the lcd.so it can be reused.

you could just remove this , but as this is my dads camera i thought id save him the pleasure of doing it.(like a pro) so am going to fit with the factory protector so it can be removed after installation.

get it the right way up! offer it in place give it a little wiggle . the black tab will move in the closing direction then press it down with finger to lock the ribbon in place.

press it gently against the locator tabs on the chassis , then stick the tape back down to hold it in place.

offer it almost in place. replace the memory card cover,and battery cover if that's the case. remember the tab for the screen protector.evenly press it together bit by bit until its closed.

get the sizes right. pictures shown in order of largest to smallest.

chuck in battery's . turn it on. then go through all buttons making sure they all work. if they do then youve not damaged or knocked anything important on your journey .
