Main concern is not cracking one of the 4 ICs when you press fit the top.

Subject: re: [OM] OM-4 Repair
| Given the different behavior you see based upon the positioning of the
| mode switch perhaps it's nothing more complicated than dirty or bent
| brush contacts in the mode switch.
|
| However, before opening up the top of your OM-4 see the 1999 archives
| for "Hot Shoe Problem". You can probably get the top off easily but
| getting it back on with all the wires stuffed into the proper place
| without breaking them or doing further damage elsewhere is a point for
| careful consideration.
