The shutters on modern (pro level) digital cameras are rated for around 150,000 activations. This 2000D is on the bottom end of mid range for consumer DSLR cameras. I am guessing the rating on that shutter is 100k or fewer activations. If the camera has 400,000+ on it just call it a day. Some things are worth saving and some aren't. A 5+ year old camera that has taken nearly half a million photos is done. No matter what you do if you dont replace the mechanisms for the shutter and mirror they will fail sooner rather than later. They weren't built with 400,000+ photos in mind when this camera was designed. This camera can be bought new with a kit lens for $5450 and resell sites have them for around $250 with between 1k and 30k shutter activations. 400,000 photos on a consumer level digital camera is probably about 4x as many as you should expect. This camera has lived a hard life, maybe it's time to let it retire to a nice cabin in the woods. That is a ridiculous amount of photos for what was designed as an entry to mid-level consumer DSLR. I have seen a Rebel t5i with nearly 800,000 clicks and the owner said it had never been serviced and still worked like new. So this T7 could go for many more years. Good work as always.
Nice one Steve, it was challenging to say the least...I still don't know 100% what the fault was which leaves it slightly unfinished, which is a shame.
Thanks for the video. You need to be a bit more carefull though when you handle this kind of electronics. You make some big moves when opening and handeling the camera and you should work on your fine motoring dexterity.
Reviewing your pictures at the end, I have a feeling that the camera is focusing too close. However, this is a setting in the firmware (on my 5D at least it is). Since you removed the coin cell battery, the factory focus setting is probably gone. You should look online how to microtune the focus. This can usually be done in software, this is not a hardware setting. Also for some, you were probably too close. This is not a macro lens you've got on :)
Man these things scare me. They're way too intricate for me to want to mess with. Hats off vince, great fix. By the way, you're sounding a bit under the weather in this video. Hope you and the family are good mate
I said to myself I would never take apart a Canon camera again .. I remember the hours I’ve spent on fixing them in the past … give you lots of credit Vince good job 👍
Vince I have a Google Nest 3rd generation learning thermostat no power which I had replaced by google under warranty. You can have the broken one for a try to fix video - it’s complete and has never been opened. Please save it from landfill !
If you don't find any use for this camera, I would happily buy it from you, I've been trying to get an entry level camera after borrowing a friend's, but the prices are crazy, even if it is unreliable I'd be more that happy to make use of it
Excellent =D I really enjoyed that! When scratching ribbons, use the tip of a scalpel or super sharp tool. Fibreglass is fine when there aren't holes in it ;)
I'd have given up at the ribbon cable point! The pictures look OK, just a narrow depth of field caused by wide apperture. Close the lens aperture down and either use a higher ISO setting or a longer exposure and more depth will be in focus.
@44:48 love the reaction! I'm sure every viewer got a kick out of that bit. Truly great seeing how your troubleshooting skills have progressed over time. Watching you troubleshoot is really great. Keep up the brilliant work.
Havent started watching yet, but being as i have a canon DSLR camera (my one is the 4000D), should be intresting (I know that my one won't turn on if the battery/sd card door is open, so it will be intresting to see what the fault is with that one) and my camera decided just now that its battery is running low, so the battery is now in the charger
*My Mate VINCE* 🐨 Is your LCD Screen a Touch screen? if it's anything like my Canon Camera I use to own, On Auto mode, I had to touch the screen "My Camera had up to three points" Some only have a single point where you want your focus to be the sharpest, hope this is the case because that means it's a total fix.. APU I dropped a 👉👍👈
Hi Vince, love your videos, always waiting for the next one 😄, maybe when you took the internal battery out you reset the board, i had the same problem with a flir IR camera, not working, not charging and all it was needed to work was removing the internal battery and put it back, is still working to this day, greetings from portugal, 🇵🇹
Hey Vince first I am not God at English Remember your second ps3 slim, the one which have faulty wifi chip, I run into the same exact problem with my ps3 slilm 3004 I did get it to boot by cutting power just like you did whith yours but no online activity available because my firmware is 4.86 (higher than your ps3) luckily most of the ps3s are running somkind of hack or cfw and this one is no exception so by unableing HEN and messing around whith it I get the ps3 online(online gaming ps store youtube....) in my current firmware so try it and make a vedio👍👍👍 good luck
I reckon the fault was caused by the "peak" that he had inside! Maybe it was a sharp peak. (I'm referring to the letter from Daan.) Back in the days of film cameras, the day after my wedding, I dismantled a "Praktika Super TL" and eventually found that the coil spring of the meter had jumped over the back end of the needle and had jammed it in the zero position. So, no matter what you set the aperture to, it was always correct! As a result, our wedding photos mostly turned out black. After I'd reassembled the camera, I was left with two "spare" washers but it worked perfectly for years afterwards.
blurred pics: you have to use autofocus first to get it sharp to the senosr and with that then set the view finder to your eyes dioptries and then you can focus manually. otherwise you set it to something sharp but only for the eye and not the sensor.
Nice troubleshooting probably it was just a reseating. I worked before as service technition by servicecentor canon. I repaired a lot of those camera only eos2000d not. Well eos 300, 400d ,450d ,600d, 1000d etc and other camera's compact on e s80 , s95 and also 10 D . Normal they are also fuses on main pcb and on the flas print. Problably named with p and n fuses. This for future videos where you must look when they is no power. Regards Steve
Quick question. How did you unscrew the top right corner of the first plate before getting to the sd card plate slot. Because on your video, the screw is already removed but how? Without broken the plastic u cant unscrew in first stage. Any ideas would be welcomes!. Thx
Best part of the video, 29:17 vince pops something of and realized: "fuck I forgot to remember how to put it back on in the right direction." I could smell the sweat on his forehead xDD but then, luckily it is idiot proof hahah was that an outing?🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Amazing video mate I have the same problems with my 650d would u have any tips as never done this before been watching loads of your videos to learn more do u think the switch could be a common fault on the sort of cameras as mines never been dropped or water damage just been sat in the loft for 6 years and now won’t turn on battery is new but still no power
Mine has that shutter error. Not worth fixing it. The shutter unit costs about USD 30, but the labour to dismantle is making someone to become a killer.
Perhaps I missed something, but how did you end up fixing the power switch issue? The video jumps from the green wire being used to turn the camera on to the switch working?
You don't need the switch to test these cameras, if you put the batery they will star reading the SD Card and enter Power Off state. The main power does not goes trought the On/Off Switch. My guess is that the issue was something in the display all along.
I have this exact camera that was taken out in the light rain which turned heavy, basically before it died the mode switch started acting strange which got stuck in video mode before the total demise..... now the camera wont even turn on I suspect the mode switch is at fault in my case, is there a way to bring it back?
@My Mate Vince Yesterday night i accidentally stepped on my Nintendo Switch it froze and was showing corruptions all over the screen, i did a hard reset and now all it does is boot up to a solid blue screen. do you know the issue and can you fix it?
The fading screen seems like a capacitor discharging but I could be wrong also you probably can buy a new screen with ribbon cable, the pictures didn't seem that bad maybe a little blurr on some further away items like it focused on what was right in front instead of the whole image
I have a 65 inch Sony lcd TV that must have a loose connection somewhere because the screen gjosts in and out every few seconds. You reckon you can fix it for me?
Love this channel. I have learned a lot about electronics, plus your voice is very relaxing. I like that the videos are longer and you include all your mistakes. The process of how to locate the problem is really helpful.
I love your videos they are not edited you get to see the repairs... Iv leaned alot from you... Please use safety glasses i still need to see more from you brother
I noticed you don't use a hammer on sensitive electronics. If you do use one make sure you ground it! I've learned that throwing things or yelling at them doesn't usually work but makes you feel better! Cool channel!
Very nice timing since I just borrowed an eos camera from my uncle! One thing though, you shouldn’t run your fingers over those lens contacts, since the oils on your fingers could make them start to corrode
im half way through the vid but when you took that battery out you should have shorted the battery connecter to reset any bios connected to it, just like a laptop bios
Great video MMV, but never ever mess with a CCD unless you have the correct equipment to set it back up. I learnt this when I used to repair fax machines. 👍🏻
Thank you for teaching me something today!! I have used fax machines since their rise in popularity and I never realized that a CCD was involved. "The fax machine typically has a CCD or photo-diode sensing array. It contains 1,728 sensors (203 pixels per inch), so it can scan an entire line of the document at one time. The paper is lit by a small fluorescent tube so that the sensor has a clear view."
@@TechGorilla1987 No problem, so if you ever have to move a fax machine treat it as FRAGILE, because if you bash it around and unseat the CCD it'll usually end up as scrap. 👍🏻 I once had a customer try to fax a piece of tartan fabric ?!?! 😆🤦🏻♂️
The thing that blows my mind, is how did they make a seven-dimensional (it says 7D) mango? When growing mangos, the best I've been able to achieve is 4 dimensions. Those mangos must be out of this world. Another fun video, much thanks, Vince (and Daan)

49:06 - Thanks for showing this, you prevented a lot of people making this mistake. Sharp surgical knife and repeated movement is solution to dispose copper from trace then bridge it. I have never seen someone fixing flat cable that was that much damaged, great job really.
Most electronics I'm OK with, but when you get to really complex things like cameras or even analogue watches I wouldn't even try they've beaten me mentally before I start.

good job, i dislike work on the camera, photo device, too litlle and complicated for my hand ;) many hour $$ for little result
Annoyingly, this bit here is working, yeah?
I really like his accent and terminology

He fixed a whole tear in a ribbon cable that's amazing!
I said to myself I would never take apart a Canon camera again .. I remember the hours I’ve spent on fixing them in the past … give you lots of credit Vince good job 👍
I removed the focus screen in mine to clean it as it had dust on it. That was enough for me.
I hate those type of ribbon cables with a passion.
5:07 anyone else’s breath was held when he tried to force the lens off? Oh gosh. Good thing you found the release mate 😅
The "tube" is a lightpipe, I think it's for the exposure metering mechanism.
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN No it isn't. The sensor cleaning on these uses a piezo transducer.
you're right skonk, it's a glass fiber to transfer a portion of flash light onto the light sensor mounted on the main PCB.
Vince I have a Google Nest 3rd generation learning thermostat no power which I had replaced by google under warranty. You can have the broken one for a try to fix video - it’s complete and has never been opened. Please save it from landfill !

Lol, @28:28, FLASH, AHaaaaaa saviour of the universe.. 🙂
is that a 12v car jumper cable.....u must have some tiny wire lol.
I think the holes in the ribbon cables are more for putting them back in, more than taking them out 😜😅
Surprised the shutter hasn't died and needed replaced at 400K activations.
Old camma
I know your full name it’s vince lehane and your son is Ben lehane i guess
Cameras are meant to be taken apart to clean the shutter if something gets on the inside
You say his name like Alan partridge shouts Dan 🤭
Canned air is horrendous for cameras and lenses, can damage shutters etc
