Remove the case
Carefully remove the back of the camera case from
the camera exposing the interior electronics, Figure
1.
Next, remove the front of the camera case, Figure 2.
This is a little harder to remove, but take your time
and unsnap all of the hinges. The front of the case
will be attached with a small ribbon cable, so take
care as not to handle this too hard or damage the
ribbon cable.
Prep the S40 Shutter Assembly Cable
You must use the S40 Shutter Assembly Cable in
order to modify this digital camera. The solder
contacts are too small even for the most skilled
technician to handle.
You must add 2 small gauge wires to the cable
before you start. Add the wires to the solder points
shown in Figure 3. In our example we added a Red
wire to the solder pad "P" for Power on/off, and Blue
to solder pad "S" for shutter.
