A very handy set of instructions to have for working on an Next. Someone forced the top cover off the flash/strobe assembly of my Nex7 with their fingernail instead of using the push button. Consequently they damaged the black plastic top cover and broke the small coil spring that keeps the flash/strobe lense pointing forward. Are there any guides to help me remove the damaged assembly in order to fit an OEM replacement assembly? I reside in the UK, and the main Sony repair centre informs me that they can't obtain a new strobe/flash assembly. Does anybody know where I could obtain an OEM black top assembly? Are there any high quality direct replacement aftermarket compatible ones (I'm sure the Sony part is manufactured by a supplier to Sony for assembly of the camera) that can be recommended to fit the Nex 7?
