Follow these steps to replace the motherboard. The motherboard should only be replaced after other troubleshooting steps have been attempted.
Qué necesitas
-
-
Slide the small black tab on the bottom of the camera to the left to unlock the battery cover.
-
-
-
Beginning in one of the corners, use a spudger to pry the leather casing off of the camera.
-
-
-
Locate the six 4.0 mm screws on the bottom of the camera.
-
Use a JIS#000 driver to remove these screws.
The two srews on the left can be left in place as these just keep the tripod mount fixed to the bottom plate. (see pictures at step 7)
Exactly as Frank said.
Please update the repair guide for those who don’t read all the comments.

This is a camera produced by a Japanese camera manufacturer. The Japanese camera industry loves using JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screws.
-
Don't be tempted by your Phillips screw driver collection. Although PH#00 will interchange with JIS#00, it is not a perfect fit. Using Phillips will cause more wear on the head of the JIS screws and cause the screws to prematurely strip.
-
Have both JIS#00 and JIS#000 screw drivers available for this teardown. Luckily, both bits are included in the ifixit 64bit kit.

Remove the bottom plate and the tripod mount by lifting them using your hands.
-
The tripod mount is keyed and fits into a series of pegs on the back side of the bottom plate.
Thanks Frank. This is a good comment. I was stuck here until I read your comments about loosening the screws in Step 10 and 12.

Get your picks ready!
-
To get any deeper into this camera, the right-hand port cover assembly must be removed first. Once this is removed, you will have access to the screws that secure the other components.
-
There's a tiny hole toward the bottom right of the battery compartment. Using the pick tool, press into that hole.
-
A plastic rod will release. That plastic rod is the axis the hinge rotates about.
I can not release the plastic rod..
I can not even press the hole. Can someone help me
Try rotating the hinge by moving the flap back and forth. Then try pushing out the rod again. Good luck.

Fuji! What did we tell you about hiding screws behind closed doors! That's pretty under the table Fuji. Don't do it again. Promise?
-
The devil's in the details with this camera. Slide the port cover off the hinge rod.
-
Using a pair of pliers, pull the rod out of the top plate of the camera. Now you'll finally have access to all the screws that need to be removed.
-
-
-
Remove the three 5.0 mm screws by the micro-USB, micro-HDMI and remote ports.
-
Remove the screw hidden behind the port cover hinge.
-
The port cover assembly should come off with ease. If it is stuck, try prying with plastic shims.

Once the electronics are exposed, it is highly recommended that you remain ESD safe. ESD can fry your precious electronics, and pass thousands of volts through components only rated for a few V DC. ESD can sure ruin your day if you are not careful.
-
Use an ESD mat and wrist strap, and make sure you are grounded for the remaining of the teardown. Make sure your ESD mat is connected to the ground of a nearby outlet, and make sure your house actually has a ground. Consult an electrician if you are unsure.

-
Remove the orange ribbon cable by opening up the ZIF connector with a plastic prying tool or toothpick.
-
-
-
Remove the rubber eyepiece guard by lifting it off with your hands.
-
If the rubber eyepiece is being stubborn, an old giftcard won't mind :D
-
-
-
Use a plastic opening tool and metal tweezers to lift up the ribbon located next to the center-right section of the green board.
-
Remove the CMOS sensor aluminum heatsink by lifting it up with your hands. The sensor, PCB and heatsink are integrated into one unit.
Twofold question here:
* It's not easy to tell from the photos, but what is preventing removal of the motherboard without removing the image sensor?
* With some cameras it's possible to mark the positions of the sensor mounting screws, tighten them all the way down to determine their absolute position, then remove them--yielding some sort of confidence in the ability to reinstall them to their original position. Is that feasible here?
Great teardown guide, thanks!

Once the lens has been taken off, flip the camera over and unscrew the two 4.0 mm screws on the front of the camera, next to the lens cover.
