Just one more screw to go!  Gently pry the little red shutter release
button up using a sharp object inserted along an edge. Be careful though,
the button is very fragile and is easily broken.  Under the button you'll
find that final screw.  When re-assembling use only a very small amount of
a light adhesive such as Pliobond. You don't want the glue migrating into
the button.  Don't use epoxy :-)
