Is there a way to separate the LCD from the backlight?

@uchetil I believe that the backlight for these screens are actually an LED backlight instead of a CCFL

And you are correct, but the remainder of the assembly is (in the one in the video, an 1100D Canon EOS- Rebel T3i / 600d and possibly in the S80 too) the same, diffusion layer, polarizer etc just the light source is different. Hmm, could be I missed your point, I shouldn't. Have introduced a possibly confusing reference.

Thanks for the video. I carefully slid a spudger around the perimeter and was able to get it separated. The corners were particularly difficult because the plastic frame is very thin and I didn't want to break it.

The backlight on my model (Canon Elph 330HS) is actually just a thin metal strip (about 4 mm wide) with 4 LEDs in a line and pressed up against a reflective translucent white sheet that disperses the light.

One tricky part is to gauge exactly where to put the spudger. There are several micro-thin layers and you have to look at the new LCD part to see exactly how thick it is.

Anyway, it's all back together and working perfectly. I hope this is helpful to someone.

Thanks for the feedback, @stefan_s glad it helped. Since it worked for you kindly 'accept' this answer, thanks and congratulations! Cool! (Dating myself with that I guess)
