Step 1 — Polaroid SNAP Front and Back Face Plate Removal
Open the paper door of the camera,
then locate and remove the screws
that are on the top and bottom edge
of the inside of the camera.
Screw head: Phillips, Screw length:
3mm
Step 2
Push the rear face plate from the short side nearest the screws you just removed towards the other
short side of the camera. It should slide forward and unlock the clips holding it in place.
Then it should be easy to simply lift the rear face plate up and remove it.
