Sony A1 Sony A1 - Memory Card Door replacement

[wayanbarre]

Hi,

I bought a spare part (memory card door/cover - MEDIA LID ASSY (850)) from Encompass to replace mine (was a bit damaged) on my Sony A1 (ILCE-1).

I managed to take the damaged one out of the camera. But I struggle to put in the new one. There is a shaft that doesn't want to go in the 2 top & bottom holes an d I don't want to break it.

Called a repair center and they said the cabinet needs to be disassembled in order to replace the part.

Is anyone knowledgable? I don't see any tutorial/guide on internet :/

Some photos attached.


Thanks!
Wayan

For those in the future that ask. Finally managed to disassemble the camera. The rod has to pass through the hole from the top, see attached: https://ibb.co/xqFzXSj

You have motivated me to take care of that door! Clearly it can be replaced, but I think I'll do my best not to need to do so :-D

Yeah don’t mess up with this one! I was sweating so much during the process…
