Introduction

This guide requires that you use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws holding the buttons in place.

Begin taking off the back cover with a plastic opening tool.
Begin by wedging the plastic opening tool behind the bottom left corner of the LCD screen as shown.
Slide the plastic opening tool to the right, along the mating edge, to pry off the back cover.
Continue taking off the back cover along the left side of the camera as seen in the third picture.

Use the plastic opening tool to separate the top section of the back cover from the frame.
Once there is enough separation between the back cover and the frame, remove the back cover for replacement.

Remove the internal 4.4mm screw with a Phillips 00 screwdriver.
Make sure you're removing the screw circled in red, not the screw crossed out in orange.

You will need a long stemmed #00 screwdriver to get to the bottom of the recess.

Gently lift of the buttons for replacement. They should come off without excessive force.
If the buttons do not lift off easily, you may have unscrewed the wrong screw. Revert to previous step.

there is a tang under the front of the frame which is a little stiff to release. but does not need excessive force.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
