Bob, Nice to hear that you dodged that bullet with only a grazing wound to show for it. I'm sure we all have a DIY repair disaster in our past.
Because somebody else's pain tends to make oneself feel better, I'll tell you of my gormless friend who, the other day, decided to run "detect and repair" in Outlook. Did you know that "restore default settings" actually means "reinstall program"? My friend didn't. OK, I didn't.

The back of the camera looks like melted bitumen after a party of elephants have danced a polka in it, but as the wise Dauphin once said 'Maman, in the dark all cats are grey'. For those who were worrying about polycarbonate - it's a metal camera. The back has some rubbery bits on, but I'm not worried about them. Hopefully the interior part of the button will be ok - time will tell. And I feel forced to confess that it was me all along - yes indeed, there was no stupid friend after all! Sorry about the deception, but I'm glad nobody saw through it.
