Re: SX210 stuck note problem - any help appreciated

2008-03-23 by mike.rophun

Thanks for the quick answer.
I thought of something like a "bad voice".
So, how do I open the SX210?
I found many screws at the bottom and also some on top or at the back.
Do I have to unscrew all of them or only the big ones?
I do not want to loosen things inside...

Cheers, Mike
