Re: Remove/replace battery door on nx500?

I ended up sourcing a service manual, and even that does not show the removal of the battery door. It does however show that to access the door pin/hinge, you must remove essentially everything down to the shell. I wasn't in favor of that, so I made a small modification. I filed down the two parts of the door and made an open section so that the door is removable, sort of like the gopro battery doors and I'm sure other cameras. The only downside is it is difficult to get the door spring lined up when reinstalling the door, but you can use it fine without hooking the spring up and it takes just a second to click into place. pretty happy overall.
