Opening up the SX240

Opening up the SX240

2009-12-29 by MFAitkenJr

I have the service manual, but it doesn't tell you which screws to undo to open it up.  Which ones?  I'm pretty sure the 2 on each side on the end pieces come off.

Figured it out.  Had to check and see how the battery was.  Yup, has the original battery still.  Doesn't seem to be leaking.  At the terminals there is some copper coloration.  Is that battery acid or rust?

Well they're getting old now so it's probably wearing(metal is ) I think it's possibly oxidization. Don't go bending the terminals but they should be fine. I posted a battery change reply in an earlier post if you take a look.
Good luck!
