HP E337 MODIFICATION

BFoutdoors assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage 
resulting from these modifications.  Furthermore, modification of commercial 
products is done at your own risk, and can result in permanent fatal damage to 
the camera if not properly done. Please use extreme caution since high voltage 
exists within camera flash units. Take proper steps to assure all energy has been 
discharged (from the capacitors, etc.), before touching any components inside 
the camera.  You should AT LEAST cover the camera lens and take a flash 
picture, and then IMEDIATELY open the battery cover to prevent the flash from 
recharging.  Even so, there will still be some charge leftover that might shock 
you, or destroy the camera if shorted somewhere! 

 

Before beginning this hack, you need to remove the batteries and memory card 
from the camera…and save the refreshments for celebration afterwards  

:)

 

 
 
The first step will be to remove the 6 screws on the underside of the camera, one 
of them is hiding deep down inside the battery compartment, and it actually holds 
the Shutter/Power board in place.
