NX20: how to remove back cover or service manual

Does anyone here know how to remove the backcover of the NX20 or has a service manual?

I removed the 5 screws on the bottom, the 2 screws on each side and the 2 screws in the flash unit.

I can now partially remove the backcover from the bottom and the two sides of the camera but the backcover it is still attached to the camera at the viewfinder so I suspect there must be one or two hidden screws near the viewfinder.

The newer NX30 has a viewfinder the can be lifted upwards to remove 2 screws but the NX20 does have a fixed viewfinder.

Thanks in advance,

Piet

Problem solved thanks to the NX10 service manual.

The soft part of the viewfinder can slide upwards to make 2 screws visible.

After that, no further surprises and the image sensor module can be accessed eaysily to remove the infrared filter

I have ordered a filter that cuts all wavelengths below 1000 nm. Above 1000 nm most pigments are transparent except for carbon black. Hopefully it will be possible with the modified NX20 to study carbon black underdrawings in paintings.
