usually when I have oil on my hand I use soap

try soap

Didn’t have any soap… but I has sum window cleaner! Log in to see images!

Worked great. I managed to get each of the pieces apart (instead of holding it apart with wire) and was able to give each (of 5!) layers a good cleaning. Seems there’s a horizontal polarizer, vertical polarizer, diffuser, some sort of thick spreading layer (that the LEDs are stickied to), then a reflective, mirrorlike layer at the back, right above the casing. Each ****ing layer needed to be tediously cleaned and thoroughly dried (with my shirt ofc).

After tediously piecing the layers together, making sure there aren’t any damn pieces of dust or lint on them (ugh), I soldered the connector back onto the LED board, and put the screen back in the camera. Happiness joy and rapture, I have my camera back again!

I swear this camera has more lives than a cat.
