did it work again after reassembly?

I guess so. See this photo:

It seems he disassembled it, fixed the problem with incorrect focus and assembled it back. He seems to be a very patient and careful man!

I have heard some guys are really patient when it comes to camera repairs. I heard of a guy reportedly spend many hours hand winding a spring to repair his old M series Leica and got it working.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post, but here goes.
I sat on my GX-200 and broke the LCD. I essentially junked the camera until I saw in another thread that someone had replaced the LCD himself. I found a source for a new unit, and decided to have a crack at it.
I eventually found a youtube video showing the taking apart of the camera and installing a new LCD. I thought this might be of interest. I am part way through, with the back successfully off, but now I have to get the correct LCD (they shipped the wrong one).
