Fujifilm Instax Minion Camera Shell Replacement

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

5 minutes

Introduction

This replacement is fairly straight forward. The only tool you will need is a #00 Phillips screwdriver and/or an extra long #00 Phillips screwdriver. Optionally, you could use a nylon spudger to help pry open the camera shell.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the six 4.5 mm #00 Phillips screws from the bottom, left, and right sides.

Step 2

Use a spudger to remove the film slot guard on the top of the camera.
Remove the one 4.5 mm #00 Phillips screw under the slot guard.

Step 3

Press the release tab on the back of the camera to open the film compartment.
Remove the film cartridge within this compartment.

Step 4

Press the battery cover in and down to remove it.
Remove any batteries within.

Step 5

Use a plastic opening tool to help pry the front and back shells apart.
With the camera facing down, remove only the back shell.

Step 6

Carefully peel the front side of the shell away.
As you lift the front shell, be careful to not pull too hard since there is a spring attached to the shell and the camera body.
Using a set of tweezers, detach the spring from the body. The spring will retract into the black and gray ring on the front shell.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
