SONY HDR MV1 FIX PART 1 OF 3

Based on one ebay seller's stock it could be estimated as a common problem with the Sony HDR-MV1 Action Cam; viz failure of the Multi-selector switch, without which the camera cannot be operated if the main battery has become flat and the internal data backup battery has also. In that condition; when switched on the time/date screen shows without the option of cancelling; the play/record buttons do not respond when pressed.
Due to upload constraints I've had to divide the video up in 15 minute segments; the first two of which merely deal with disassembly. Although simple enough there are pitfalls in that respect that could prove disastrous if care is not taken. If confident enough they could be ignored, leaving PART 3 ( slightly longer than 15 minutes but hopefully accepted ) to show how easy it is to get this camcorder working. An attractive proposition maybe, due to significant price drop.
