How to change LCD screen for Panasonic DMC-TZ1
The LCD screen comes as a replacement kit when you order the kit (part number VYK1V57KIT) from Panasonic. http://www.pstc.panasonic.com/Epartr/PartsListChoice.asp
Her is the kit, an instruction is included.
Take the battery out.
Take off the screws as shown on Figure 2, 3 & 4.
Open the back cover.
Unlock the connectors; unplug the LCD backlight cable and the data cable.
Use a flat screwdriver slowly to pry the broken LCD up from the back cover.
The LCD shield might be broken when you lift it up. It is ok in this case because the replacement kit included the shield.
But if you buy an OEM LCD screen, maybe there is not backlight and other things with together. You must be careful, don’t break any otherthings if you only get the LCD sheet.
Peel off the protection of the new LCD.
Peel off one separator from the LCD tape(double-sided tape) and tape on the LCD shield.
Peel off another separator. Put the LCD on the back cover. Once the LCD is in the right position, slightly press the LCD to ensure it is taped on the back cover properly.
Put on the LCD barrier (1).
Fold the backlight cable on the white line (2).
Now plug and lock the LCD data and backlight cables. Close the back cover. Insert the battery and test.
Is it working well?
Ok, put back the screws and finish the work.
Dear Sirs.
How and where do I get the LCD screen for Panasonic camera DMC TZ1?
Where in the UK or for The UK can I get my screen fixed for a Lumix TZ-5?
I bought Sealey AK97319 – Precision Screwdriver Set 32pc from amazon & one of the parts was able to do the job of removing the tiny cross head screws which are all over the place. Note: not all need removing in order to take off the back. Seems like you only need to remove those to the rear side of the case.
Any tips for removing the clips (pic #6) without breaking them?

Hello,
Can you tell me the partnummer of the LCD (with backlight unit) for the Panasonic DMC-TZ3?
Thanks
I have replaced a cracked screen on the DMC TZ5. The back light is illuminated but I can not get any image. Can you help? Thanks
Thank you for this site. Your directions were extremely helpful and I really appreciate them. You might add how to unlock the strips from the unit. I finally figured it out after a lot of looking at the connectors. Smart fellows these Japanese, and how things are made so small is amazing.
I have successfully carried out the screen swap but the tape connection to the circuit board is a problem as the small black comb locking strip has become unattached from the multi-pin connection block on the circuit board. I don’t seem to be able to fit it back on. Can anyone please tell me how this refits? I have photos
