UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED :) So since posting my question below I have found the answer to where this piece goes. It’s fits in behind where the strap holes are when the casing is on.
Hi, I’m really hoping someone can help. I followed a break down tutorial to fix a camera I’d been given as faulty but there’s one part which dropped out when I first opened it and I’m not entirely sure where it should go. I can’t seem to find any guides which show you how to put them back together. The piece is a small with a groove and a hole set off to one side. Hopefully you can see the piece in the image attached.
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance. Nicola Update (05/13/2017) I finally managed to find out where this piece is from, it slides in behind where the strap holes are on the casing!
Hi @nictakespics , First, unfortunately your image link doesn’t work. Here is a link to the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Repair guides for the the camera. They show how to dis-assemble the camera so theoretically reassembly should just be a reversal of the procedure. Hopefully you can spot the loose part in the images shown in the guide(s). Hopefully this is of some help. Update (04/30/2017) Hi @nictakespics , I’m with you on this one. I can’t make out where it belongs either. The only thing that might look like it and I won’t be surprised if this is totally wrong is if it belongs in the film compartment cover. Here is an image of where I mean. It is not a good view of it but it should be one place where there is a hole of about the same size. The image is taken from Step 2 of the Camera Shell Replacement guide.
