Nikon D40 LCD Screen Replacement

Step 1 Back Cover

• Remove the two visible 6.0 mm Philips #0 screws on the left and right sides of the viewfinder. These screws are highlighted in red.

Step 2

• Remove the four 6.0 mm Philips #0 screws on the left and right sides of the camera.

Step 3

• Remove the four highlighted 3.0 mm Philips #0 screws on the bottom of the camera.

Worth mentioning, the top circled screw was a 6mm on my camera. The other 3 were 3mm.

Step 4

• While pulling the bottom down, remove the back of the camera.

• Be careful not to pull too hard on the back as it is connected via a ribbon cable. Be sure to disconnect this cable on the main board.

• To disconnect the ribbon cable pull the small black tab upward and pull gently on the cable.

Step 5 LCD Screen

• Remove the six 3.0 mm Philips #0 screws on the inside of the back panel which contains the LCD screen.

Step 6

• Detach the ribbon cables on the LCD casing.

Step 7

• Remove the metal casing containing the LCD screen using the plastic opening tool.

• Be sure to look at the picture to make sure you are removing the correct piece of metal. There should be no glue holding the correct piece to the frame.

Step 8

• You should now be able to remove the LCD screen. Replace it with a new screen.
