I am having trouble seperating the two halves of the case having removed the screws. Could you tell me the correct method of doing this please. I do not want to force the parts in case they break.

Re: sperating the case
Ok .... you will need a t7 torx screwdriver ( i know all this i have a 6233 and loadz ov tools ) and then remove the screws near your battery and then you will be able to just pull it off but i have a special tool , if you search case opening tools on ebay there shud b some results for about 1 or 2 pound tht will get the case of easily and then wen u get that off u can also remove the case were the camera is , hope i helped :)
You must also remember to remove the logosticker at the front bottom. (Try sliding a sharp blade under it so you don't destroy it or remove all the glue located on the back of the sticker). There is 2 screws located underneath this sticker. When you've removed all 4 screws you should be able to remove the front cover by using i.e a hard plastic guitarplectrum.

Re: sperating the case
There is actual tools designed for taking phones apart. For the most part you must be a cell phone faceplate wholeseller in order to get these. if you want one I can get them email me directly at [email protected] and I will tell you how to get one from me.
4 screws, 2 under the battery, 2 under the two little rubber button on the back side near the top, then take a small screwdriver and gently push the two clips apart, located about halfway up the phone, on either side.

Remove the batteries and look around including inside the battery cover for any small screws.
Remove all screws - Even If there isn't any screws.

You need a fairly wide but thin flat bladed screwdriver to split the case. Place the blade of the screwdriver between the two casings of the remote control and gently twist the blade and the case will begin to split apart. work it loose - but don't foce it apart. Apply even pressure around the remote control with the blade of the screwdriver.
Once you have seperated the two halves - clean the rubber buttons with either Meths or Isopropyl Alcohol and also clean the circuit board with the same where the buttons make contact with the circuit board. Then reassemble. Your control should then be ok!
its not hard to do you need a gasket and seal kit too the hardest part is seperating the case halves . do not place a screwdriver in the case halves to seperate you will cause a leak ! remove the nuts on the yokes first then the case . mark with a scribed line and remove the trans speedo cable assembly set it aside tap and pry the case halves apart pull off the back half of case the front half is where you want everything to stay in place try to keep it standing up so rear case is up then you can lift up the front output shaft the chain and the planetary remove the rest of parts install new seals and reassemble the case uses rtv black sealant instead of gasket
QUick and dirty this is how it should go. Might be a little different so use some caution.
1- Remove the 4 screws from the outer corners of the gps unit. These are on the back in the corners.
2- Try sticking a small (JEWELERS/PRECISION) screw driver between the two halves of the case. There are small snap locks around the case, these are what you are trying to get to open up.
3- When you get the two halves seperated do not pull them apart. Look carefully inside you might see wires running to tha back half of the case, check on these and see where they go and what they are connected to. If you are lucky they are just speakers and they will have a quick connect on them.
4- Once you have the case seperated, the battery should be right there, remove the battery and install the new one. NOTE-- IMPORTANT sometimes you cannot get the right battery but you can get the same one but with a different end on it. IF YOU are CAREFULL you may be able to get the end off the original battery and put it on the new one.
Remove all the case screws, except the rubber feet. Remove the handle. unplug both batterys, seperate the two halves of the case. A plastic tray seperating the two batteries will be preventing the removal of the bottom battery bracket screw which is metal. I drilled through the plactic to enable a long screwdriver to remove the bottom bracket screw. An extendable magnet was used to retrieve the screw, although not necessary. The top battery bracket screw can be removedat any time once clearance is gained. . What a PITA, stupid engineering!
If you drop one of the Coolpix cameras, the case can get jammed up against the lens. The lens may not extend at all, and you are probably getting SYSTEM ERROR messages. The motor that extends the lens isn't powerful. By loosening the screws that hold the case together, you may be able to move the case slightly and get everything back into alignment. This task is for the mechanically inclined and who can be gentle and patient. Brute strength is NOT called for here. Also, if your camera is under warranty, do not do this!
Removing the case screws will require a jewelers phillips head screwdriver and a well-lit workspace that will prevent losing the screws (they are tiny). Not all the screws are exactly the same. You have to keep track of where they came from so that they go back into the same hole. Get a clean sheet of paper and draw a map of the camera body showing where the screws go. There are 11 screws all together two of which are under the battery cover.
Shut off the camera and remove the battery. As you remove the screws, place them on the corresponding spot on the map. When all the screws are removed, the case may not want to come apart. GENTLY move the two halves of the case apart at the bottom of the camera (For some reason, the camera wants to come apart at the base before the top). It probably isn't necessary to take the body apart. If the body does come apart, note that the OFF/ON dial is connected to the circuit board by a thin ribbon cable, so the halves cannot be separated completely in any case. DO not pull on this cable.
What you are trying to do is loosen the two halves of the case and give them a chance to get back into the original position. Note that the tripod mount is a separate piece and will shift slightly if you separate the case halves at the bottom.
If the case halves are loose and they have moved, you've may have fixed the problem. Replace the screws. You may need a pair of needle nosed pliers to get the screws back into the holes. Put the battery in and turn on the camera. If you moved the body correctly, then the lens should pop out. Don't be afraid to try a couple of times.
I may have been lucky in that this worked for me, but if your camera isn't working at all (mine wasn't), this may be worth a try. Just be extremely careful of those screws.
The only method I have found is with a dremmel tool and cut it open along the original split line.
All the electronics are clear of the case mid line. The case is a bit less than 3mm thick.
The antenna is closest with maybe a 2 mm clearance all round and the various (6) rear conector wires (on the right looking from the back) have a similar clearance but sit below and away when the unit is assembled. Cheers
