Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 LCD Screen Replacement

Introducción

This guide is fairly simple in regards to the general disassembly of the device. However, it does require caution when dealing with the delicate ribbon cables. Additionally, the LCD screen is secured in place by a small amount of adhesive. If you are having any difficulty prying free the screen, I would suggest applying a very low amount of heat to the front of the screen (display side) to melt the adhesive.
