Einleitung

Zu Schritt 1 der Anleitung

Have you dropped your Canon Powershot A80 once or twice over the years, and now the cover is a little loose or even coming off, making it hard to hold it steady? Have you thought about using tape (like me) to hold it on?

Great news—this guide is for you (and you won't have to use tape!)

Follow the instructions in this guide to help you remove and replace the front cover of your camera so you can have a better grip when taking photos and don’t have to worry about the cover falling off. You also might use this guide if you need to access the internal components of your camera if you are working on another repair.

Before you begin this repair, be sure that your camera is off and unplugged from the charger. For an additional safety measure, remove the battery before you begin too.

Remove the top lid of the camera.
Be cautious of the fragile mylar cable that connects the lid to the main body of the camera.
Removing the lid takes a little force. Do this gently. There may be a snapping sound.
The door to the memory card compartment will be freed and should be removable now.
In other versions of this camera, there is a tab that secures the top from the wrist strap. If yours has this, you won't be able to completely separate the top until you have removed the top screw in Step 8.
