Canon A-1 - Remove the Top Cover

[@MGnutMG]

Thank you very much for the video! There was a problem with 2 small contacts, because of which the AV/TV mode change did not work, I removed the cover, disassembled the mechanism, bent the contacts and cleaned the tracks. Everything worked!

Any chance you could please record a video taking the compensation dial apart and putting it back together? I removed mine because the dial disk and the gauges (exposure compensation and ASA) were completely misaligned but now not sure how to put it back on...

Thanks! Any ideas what’s wrong if the LED in viewfinder meter comes on but nothing happens when shutter button pressed? Lights turn of. Shutter doesn’t fire

Clear and straight to the point. Thank you.

What is the friction tool you use in the video, and is there a way to remove the release collar without one?

[@markomarovic86]

you can use a piece of car or bicycle inner tube.

The list of tools I use are in the video description

I did not expect it would be so complicated / so many steps to follow removing that top cover !! I better trash it by searching for a good one to buy.
