iFixit has published a complete teardown of the Fujifilm X100T. If you’ve ever wanted to see the guts of the $1,099 camera, here’s your chance to have a peek without spending 2 to 4 hours and putting your camera at risk.

The guide by Christian Johansen shows how the camera can be disassembled into its basic components. Fujifilm didn’t make it super easy: it’s rated as a “difficult” teardown.

You start off by peeling off the skin of the camera.

After unscrewing a bunch of screws on the outside of the body, you can get into the rear components such as the LCD screen.

Some more screws later, you can access the motherboard behind the silver frame.
