I'd like to get access to the shutter button on a Nikon D70 and need some
assistance removing the top plate. Removing 2 screws left/right of finder, 2
screws either end, and 2 screws inside flash housing - plate seems to want
to release everywhere but in the region of the shutter button. Anyone have
the trick to removing the top plate completely?
Thanks.

Use a sledgehammer. While you're at it, smash all the digital cameras.
