I opened the camera's front and back covers and the mode dial button remained fixed on the camera.<br />http://www.digitalsecrets.net/Sony/SonyPix/V1TopWide.jpg<br /><br />Then I noticed that the mode dial button, the power button, the external flash socket and the nightshot switch are all attached to a plastic piece that will slide backwards (down in the picture) after I unhooked some "cables". You can clearly see this piece in the picture; it is the slightly elevated area with all the mentioned buttons on it.<br /><br />Now I have this piece completely separated from the camera with the mode dial on it. Under the plastic there is a steel plate and the plastic is attached to the steel with plastic bolts. It seems that, to access the mode dial mechanism, I have to cut or melt these plastic bolts (11 of them or so). Any advice? 3 of these bolts also hold a "flat cable" and one holds also another plastic piece.Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631437746662971247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438678654059813712.post-30463934599749622142010-10-30T04:58:53.588-07:002010-10-30T04:58:53.588-07:00This was amazing! thank you very much for the tuto...This was amazing! thank you very much for the tutorial. I had dropped my dad's digital camera in the ocean and it stopped working for a while. the issue was that the mode dial would not flip the modes any longer. <br /><br />thanks to your tutorial the problem is now fixed :)<br /><br />another queer thing i noticed was that the mode would work in warmer/sunny weather and not in colder/damper weather.adihttp://(optional)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438678654059813712.post-67446924638407546272009-12-31T17:12:14.871-08:002009-12-31T17:12:14.871-08:00rhoadrw,
