So, my daughter has taken an interest in photography, but I didn't want to hand her one of my decent cameras, as she's only 19 months old. So I gave her my old A75, which was on its way out anyway (focus motor was struggling). I figured I'd wait till she broke it, then take it apart. Well, it took 3 days for her to drop the camera on the lens and jam the lens barrel, so tonight I took it apart. I basically took it as far as I could go without snipping soldered wires. (so, as far as screws and clips would let me go. Surprisingly, that's really far. It's VERY complicated to get it apart and disassembled. Took me the better part of two hours, as I didn't want to break any components (though there's no way I could put this back together).
The only wires I had to snip were those connecting the flash section to the rest of the camera, as they were soldered on both ends. I did due diligence, though, and documented the process. I through together a quick web page for the disassembly:
