Make sure you purchase a replacement for the flex cable in your dp1 since most if not all issues with a stuck lens can be traced back to this broken cable.

the original dp1 was the first of its kind and it was just too cramped inside.

good luck!

Hi Motionride,

I have the flex cable and the broken DP1 – do you know where to find instructions for replacing the old one? Or getting to the lens (getting to the IR filter is fairly well documented but the information seems to dry up there).

Cheers.
