You my friend are am absolute star, i had a Sony HX60, that i bought a replacement lense zoom for as the original was locked in the extended position, the new one that i bought from china would not work. Turns out the ribbon cable that supplies the voltage to the motor had split by only a tiny tear, so i had to take the ribbon and the top off the locked one, and put it onto the dead one. had i not had the ripdown of your lense on here it would of been an absolute nightmare. Thankyou very much.
Thank you for this video. I found that my lens broken exactly where you said it usually does. Unfortunately this part is not available. Only lens assembly.
When you have a ribbon cable inserted into a ZIF (zero insertion force) socket, of course it's hard to get the cable out - the socket is in LOCKED position. It's not suppose to come out. DON'T FORCE THE CABLE OUT with pliers! Look for the plastic hinged door on top of the cable (part of the socket). On a ZIF socket one side will have a hinge. Gently pry up on the opposite side of the hinge and the cable will slip right out with just your fingers and zero force. That's the purpose of a ZIF socket! Forcing a ribbon cable out from a ZIF socket can damage the socket and the cable! To reinstall the cable (with the hinge door still up in unlock position) simply seat the cable firmly into the socket and snap back the hinged door to lock position. Note that not all sockets are ZIFs. If it looks like your socket has a hinged flip top plastic to it it's a ZIF. Make SURE to gently pry from the opposite side of the hinge or you will break one or both of the small hinge pins. I actually found a link showing a typical ZIF (albeit a TV repair, the socket theory is still the same) here: ua-cam.com/video/C9PwK9eGrCY/v-deo.html Best of luck to all of you DIYers
Great info! i have two HX50's and both have the same focus problem (code 32:60, turn off then on again) The focus motor can be removed from the lens assembly housing by loosening 2 very tiny screws, the screws don't have to be removed, just loose. When i tried to turn the inner lens by the teeth to get it to stick out it was very difficult to turn but once everything was apart i didn't see any damage or abnormal wear? the plastic sleeves look in good shape also? I could hear and feel a bit of grinding on both when started up, not sure why looking at the lens i took apart.
Hi Dave. Thanks a lot for your very helpful and detailed videos! I own an HX60, which I dissassembled using both this and another of your videos because there seemed to be dust on the lens. I was surprised to find two eyelashes stuck between the two parts of the lens that you pull apart at 5:59 of this video. After removing the eyelashes and the dust, I fully reassembled the camera and turned it back on. I was very cautious during the whole process and double checked everything, especially connections. I was therefore very surprised to see that it was not operating properly: the screen is working fine (I can see aperture values, battery level, etc) but displays a black image. One thing I noticed: when the camera is on and the lens out, if I look into the lens I can see all the way into it, up to the lens I cleaned. The diaphragm (iris?) seems fully retracted. When I press the shutter button halfway I do hear a "beep-beep" focus sound, but nothing happens inside the lens. The only incident I had when reassembling everything was that I very slighly cut the plastic of the folded ribbon cable at 3:20 while trying to force it back into position. I did not seem like much, but could it be related to my issue? Or does it stem from something else in your opinion?
shine i flashlight into the lens see if anything shows on screen. could be the cut in the cable. look to see if the cut crossed any of the lines ( wires ) in cable. new lenses are cheap about $50 or so.
@@daves.projects Hi Dave. Thank you very much for the feedback. Nothing shows on screen when I shine the flashlight into the lens. I find new replacement lenses a bit expensive. Maybe I could just get a new cable on eBay and replace it myself? Does it seem to you like something feasible by someone who's not a technician?
@@daves.projects the one I (slightly) cut/broke is the part you move at 3:28, it's folded and tucked under a piece of plastic. Again, I'm speculating, maybe my issue is unrelated, I don't know (just trying to guess where the problem could come from)
Many thanks for this perfect tutorial. As I don't want to buy a new lens for my old camera, I tryied to glue the broken plastic cylinder. The camera is now more or less working. It's anyway very satisfying to find the defect root cause. Could we talk about planned obsoplescence with this very weak part (the plastic cylinder that seems to break in first in the lens) ?
Hi, I have a problem, I watered few water in backpack and my cam and apparently superficially wet casing so I dried it superficially and then turned on normally (I thought it was not wet) but the display looked so turned it off and then I removed the battery but then put them again (I won anxiety) and the display looked dull colored but as dark and took a test shot. After I turned it off and I forgot to get the batteries (I know it's stupid) and several hours after I got home and saw to checarla display ***** looked back but the light was on, and the rest It worked perfectly. I took the pile and felt warm. I removed the memory card and check the computer and the pictures are perfect, the zoom, flash and everything. I disassemble a bit and the humidity sensor was marked but could not see anything wet. I was watching in Aliexpress several displays for my camera from 12-20 dollars (seems very cheap to 921000 pixels) and with good grades. Before buying I wonder if there is any way to tell if the problem is display or something else more serious. Recall that the backlight works. I hope you can help me, I would appreciate it.

Hi, I am broken the lens down the final part per your video. However aluminium ring on the final part of the lens (the one with the sticky stuff on it) that I cannot get off.

I really need this off as this is the final part of the lens that has a smudge on it. Also while trying to pull off the aluminium ring I have placed finger prints on the inside of the lens. Best way to remove these without making it worse? I watched your video of cleaning the RX100 and you said do clean the lens unless necessary.
+Tash Proud try to twist lightly as you pull, pulling with steady pull till the tape loosens. its just stuck on the that sticky tape. yes its hard to get the lenses clean like factory new. but if you have to clean use a good clean cleaner and microfiber cloth.
+Otherstuff Thank you so much. It worked out. Just one more thing. The little white spring thing that you suggest putting tape over popped off. I was able to catch the spring but on which side does the spring go back for reassembly? On the inside or outside of the black casing?
I put the lens inside a (watertight!) ziplock bag face down, and popped it into a bowl of boiling water for about a minute. I had to do this about five times over, with attempts at tugging off the cover. Once it had started to budge a bit (the lip between the inner casing and the cover will get wider), I stuck a spudger in between the front of the cover and the lens flap - to prise between the sticky tape and cover. That was the final push to get the thing off! Be wary of unpopping the clips on the final part. the shutter flaps are held in by tiny springs, and one of mine came off as I removed it.

Hi Dear, I have this type lens problem. I separated all parts of my camera like your this and another video and I saw the lens plastic is not broken it's fine. I think it's have another problem. how can i find this problem. Please help.
without me fiscally looking at the lens there is no way for me to tell you what could be wrong. its could be many things. if you cant find the problem your best solution would be to just replace the lens. you can find them cheap on ebay.
i'm sorry i thought you where talking about the RX100. this HX50 only has one lens the HX50 or HX60 lens will work. just search that. i dont have any numbers for the lens.
I have a sony camera, model DSC-HX20V. That now he cannot remove the lens. The camera did not fall, it is more take 4 photos and turn it off. When I turned it on again, the lens didn't come out. The camera does as to open, but does not succeed. And then I get a message to turn off and turn the camera on again. What can be?
first thing you want to try, is get a home vacuum and put it close to the lens, with the camera on cup the vac and lens in your hand and let it suck out dust and dirt. DO NOT put the vac directly on the len. theses lenses have 3 sensors that tell the camera the position of the lens and when they get dust or dirt in them they malfunction.
Hello, congrats for the great video. I have a question. My automatic lens cover stucked partially. For the moment I use my fingers to push it up but this is not the solution. On your video I cant see this part. Do you think its possible to put a hard paper between the lens and the cover piece that is closer to the lens and try to pull it out. Or it is too hard to fix it and to order a full lens? Thanks in advance. You can see my pictures on this link goo.gl/photos/J8ETNwZNr4p1hfwo6
+John Markantonis (Efkolo) you can pull that front piece off to get the the lens cover. it has two sticky tapes on the front little heat and pulls right off. then the lens cover is removed with four tabs. looks like the springs got out on the lens flaps. easy to fix. sorry for the slow reply. at 18:22 you can see how its on. you have to remove the aluminum outer ring that has two sticky tapes on the front.
+Otherstuff Thank you very much for your answer but I am still wondering how to do that. 1. Can I do that without removing the lens from the camera? Or I have to do all the steps till 18:22? 2. The piece that I will remove is a flat piece on the front of the lens with the square hole in the middle (a) or it comes out with the 1 of the three fat aluminum rings (b) Letters (a) and (b) refer to my picture goo.gl/photos/XtyQkWnuUjG3QH5F8 I saw the video 3-4 times and now I think I understood more. I have to heat the front of the lens as it is and pull all the fat ring which marked (b) on my picture. After that I have to unlock the four clip pins were are the springs and the flaps? Under the black lens cover with the clips? Please tell me where I am wrong and forgive me for all those questions but I am trying to make it clear.
+John Markantonis (Efkolo) make a clean work area as you will be worker with very small parts, springs that can easily get lost. turn the camera on. zoom the lens out. remove the battery. with the lens now zoomed out pull on aluminum ring ( b ) constant pull to get the sticky tape to release. apply light heat to front if needed ( see sticky tape 19:11 ) once the ring ( b ) is removed un-clip ( a ) ( see clips 19:33 ) the lens flaps are spring loaded with a very light and very small springs. take cation not to let springs fly out and get lost. the lens flaps fold together once in place and the spring makes them move ( open ) when the camera is on. if they get out of place they dont open so you have to get them back in place. ( a ) is held together with two pieces that clips together with the lens flaps inside. I might make a video showing this.
Thanks man am really gaining slot from your lessons

1. Can I do that without removing the lens from the camera? Or I have to do all the steps till 18:22?
2. The piece that I will remove is a flat piece on the front of the lens with the square hole in the middle (a) or it comes out with the 1 of the three fat aluminum rings (b)
Letters (a) and (b) refer to my picture goo.gl/photos/XtyQkWnuUjG3QH5F8
I saw the video 3-4 times and now I think I understood more.
I have to heat the front of the lens as it is and pull all the fat ring which marked (b) on my picture.
After that I have to unlock the four clip pins were are the springs and the flaps?
Under the black lens cover with the clips?
Please tell me where I am wrong and forgive me for all those questions but I am trying to make it clear.
+John Markantonis (Efkolo) make a clean work area as you will be worker with very small parts, springs that can easily get lost. turn the camera on. zoom the lens out. remove the battery. with the lens now zoomed out pull on aluminum ring ( b ) constant pull to get the sticky tape to release. apply light heat to front if needed ( see sticky tape 19:11 ) once the ring ( b ) is removed un-clip ( a ) ( see clips 19:33 ) the lens flaps are spring loaded with a very light and very small springs. take cation not to let springs fly out and get lost. the lens flaps fold together once in place and the spring makes them move ( open ) when the camera is on. if they get out of place they dont open so you have to get them back in place. ( a ) is held together with two pieces that clips together with the lens flaps inside. I might make a video showing this.
+Otherstuff Thanks a lot. I will do it. You are so clear I am sure I can do it. I will record my work too.
