I have been having intermittent issues with video playback on sites like Facebook and YouTube. Videos would either play without sound or they will not be able to load when clicked. Embedded video on some website site also suffers the same issue once in a while. I used to be able to live with this issue as I only encounter them once in a while. But recently, there are more and more videos that will not play on my firefox browser. Finally, I have had enough of the nonsense and decide to fix the problem once and for all.

I thought i should give it a try to repair this camera and see if it is fixable. It does not seemed that difficult, but the problem is, I couldn't find video online on how to take the camera apart. I thought to myself, why don't i take this opportunity to record down the repair process while I figure out how to disassemble the camera. Maybe this info might be useful to someone out there. And with a few simple tools, setup my video camera, pressed the record button and here goes: if you are interested to get the tools that I have used, you can take a look here: 1.  A small Philips screwdriver (about 1.5mm)(those small jewelers Philips head screwdriv...
