Thank you so much for such a helpful video! I've been unable to use my 800D properly for over a year as it was stuck on the video mode and unable to power off. It had been my primary camera for my TH-cam videos. Your video showed me how to access the power/mode dial and fix the problem (looks like some sand had got in and interfered with the connections). Really appreciate your help. Printable diagram came in very handy too 😃👍
I had the opposite problem. My battery door came off and I wanted to put it back on without breaking it. Knowing how it came off helped a lot. Glad I wasn't out shooting when it happened.
I probably just blew the fuse on my t7i when I plugged the wrong power supply into my battery eliminator. I was hoping for something that I might do myself. That is looking like a no and I am wondering whether it's even worth fixing. This looks like an expensive procedure and the damage might not be limited to a fuse. I'm going to call my camera store tomorrow and see what they think, but buying a used one is looking like the safer bet right now. Thank you for the video. It was interesting and well done but it also made me think I'm not going to attempt this.
@@Thebobfactor Thank you. I am feeling a bit bummed right now. I was in a hurry because I hadn't gotten much done today. I pulled apart a time lapse set up and then I thought I better make sure I keep the battery eliminator and its power supply together so I looked around for the connector for it, found one that looked right and thought what are the chances that it's not the right one? I'll just plug it in and make sure it's the right one. Alas, the power connector to my Westcott strobe is physically the same as the plug to my battery eliminator and after I plugged it in the camera wouldn't power up. Before the days of USB connectors I was an electrical engineer and I remember looking around for a barrel connector standard to use with our product. I don't think there is one. So I, maybe more than most, shouldn't have made this mistake. FWIW, Wescott supply has the positive 16.8 voltage on the outer contact and the battery eliminator has the positive 8.5 volts on the inner contact. Nice. My guess is the camera might have survived if the voltage hadn't been reversed, Now it seems there's a pretty good chance that more than a fuse was destroyed. I've found a few use t7i's for sale in the $400-$500 range. I think I'm going to buy one of those. I wanted my next camera to be mirrorless but I'm not going to buy a Canon because of the no second party lens thing, and I think I'd like to wait for a while before I decide on a new brand. The probability is that I'm going to have a non functional t7i hanging around. If you think you might have any use for it, please let me know. Thanks again for the video. It was interesting and it worked to convince me I'm not going to try to fix this on my own.
Hello, great video, thanks ! I have issue with the camera/on/off button, the Switch is broken. I wonder if you already did your video about the top part disassembly you are talking about at the end of this video. Do you have the reference of the switch ? I can't fond anything on the internet !
No, unfortunately I have not made any of the followup videos for this camera. I usually get my parts from eBay. For a power switch or other parts like that, you may have to purchase a used top unit for the camera. I do see a couple on ebay, they are in China though, so it may take a little longer to get it. Here is one of them: www.ebay.com/itm/265308818386?hash=item3dc5a34bd2:g:M7wAAOSwQ9dhPKWv&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwMvgA7i3VZy8wBWR%2FdGTHHNmE8Y8wOp8xiGMDJkRUQU3Kq8SyoR%2FEBOlSJ3c8GusW63JiFfQ8TwAQl2H4S1qnduP4jMDVmuY4nSf89URibyLdNUHiNf4%2BLkNuuzgojRTVBX082ztTxvOk2RnzAecnqKtVPvC8yfBHOs2Cpxd%2BA13JObR5zWSopIkZOCG3u5vp%2FQTP%2FUCzqvmmAu2VCN4LuxH45fPUo%2BaT29w0sU7bxpGVetSC%2FFe31Jha2%2Fn0VwlfQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR97miaGyYQ
I hope to get more videos out for this camera in the very near future. Can you tell me what problem you are having, so that I can see what area you will need help in.
@@Thebobfactor Doesn't turn on. Usually when I put a battery to the slot the small diode on the right side blink with red light - now it's doesn't. Googled it, and its says 90% mainboard.
@@Shizafon Ya, there's a good possibility that it's the main board. This particular camera doesn't have a separate power board like many other Canon DSLR's have, which make it easier to test the power on it. Everything is incorporated into the main board, which makes it almost impossible to test the power regulation part of it. One other possibility is that the power switch is bad. I will be doing a video on testing and repairing the power switch, but it may be a little bit before I have that one ready.
Hi, my T7i soon as it has power stays on and in live view video mode, I can't switch to any of the photography modes. The top assembly, have you done a repair video for the power switch and live view button? I didn't find the other videos in this series on your channel on the channel videos page.
Hi David. Unfortunately I don't have any additional videos on this model yet. I still have it disassembled on one of my workbenches, but it will probably be a few weeks yet before I can get back to it. Looking at the top control piece though, I don't see any easy way to isolate the Live View mode button to determine if it is stuck closed possibly. The entire Power Switch / Mode Selector assembly would have to be disassembled and removed first. Does the Live View button feel as if it's working, where there is a definite click or bump as you push it in?
@@Thebobfactor sorry I missed your message, I never got a notif, I finally got around to ordering a new top assembly and came back to your video for how to put everything back together. Thank goodness for your video here and also your screw placement printout. I taped every screw to in and they've stayed in place for a year except 2.. I have to go searching the carpet behind my desk for 2 of the front screws lol. Super appreciate your work here, thank you!
@@mr702s did the camera go out of video mode once the button was changed? Did dissasemble the camera and looked at the button/switch and it looked fine. Basically have the same issue as you have/had, once the battery was in it turned itself on while still in «off» modus and straight into movie mode If you fixed the issue, how did you do it?
If you haven't done so already, try a different SD card first. If that is not the problem then look inside the SD card holder and see if there is anything at all down at the bottom where the contacts are. I have run into problems with the SD card before, where slivers or pieces of the SD card come off if you remove and replace the card frequently. The pieces prevent a good electrical connection and you may get errors with the SD card. If that isn't the problem, and you don't see any problems with any of the connectors on the main board, then you will have to replace the SD card holder itself. Unfortunately with this camera, the SD card is not on a separate circuit board that can be replaced independently, and it is incorporated into the main board. So changing out the SD card on this camera is a bit more expensive because you are changing out the main board.
Hello, congratulations for the videos very well explained! Helped me a lot. Would you have this camera mount for Canon EOS 5D mark III? I await your response and congratulations on the channel.
Thanks for the video! I subbed. My usb port is not working on my 800d and so I was trying to see if I could repair that myself. However I can't seem to get the screws to loosen on my camera and I dont want to strip them. Any thoughts?
Hi RORO. Are all of the screws stuck, or just a few? You can try using a JIS screw driver, though I've never used the JIS type on any of the cameras I've worked on. Supposedly a JIS screw head will have a small dot near the X in the screw head, but I have never seen any on the screws of the cameras I've worked on, and the Phillips head screwdriver has always worked well for me. Possibly your camera is using a JIS screw head though. Look for a small dot near the X on the screw head to tell. Also, the smallest JIS screw driver that I've seen is a #000 (3-ought), and I don't really know how closely they are in size to a #0000 (4-ought) Phillips head that the cameras use. In extreme cases where the screw head is stripped, some people have said that they put a small amount of bonding glue in the small X grooves on the screw head and then put a screwdriver in and let the glue set up. There is also some stuff on the market called "Screw Grab", but I have read mixed reviews on that stuff.
@@roro3793 That's odd. Very odd. Has the camera ever been worked on before that you know of? If it has, maybe the repair shop put thread lock on the screws when they put it back together. That's not something that is normally done though. I can't think of any other reason why the screws would be so tight. Unfortunately you may have to take it to a repair shop to get them out. Sorry I can't be more help.
Would corrosion build up internally cause the camera to lockup (screen goes blank) after taking a few photos? Issue just started on a rebel t7. Sensor was cleaned by a shop. No error codes.
I doubt it. Not unless it got wet. I've never seen corrosion in a DSLR body, except when they had been seriously wet. It sounds more like a heat issue, with an IC component, or possibly even the CCD, getting hot after just a few shots, and then shutting down until it cools off. Does it eventually start working again after being off for a little while?
There is a switch on the left hand side as you're looking inside the SD card slot that tells the camera when a card is inserted. Look and see if there is anything stuck there, such as a piece of plastic from an SD card. Also look at the end of the slot where there are multiple contacts and make sure that there isn't anything down there also. If you haven't already, you also need to try a different SD card.
Hi. I have the same problem. Pins are bent. I have a replacement sd card slot that needs to be soldered on after removal of the old one. How do I get to that part ? Do I need to remove the top and the hdmi area ? Or is there a easier way to get to the sd card holder on the board ? Thanks in advance
Any idea to why my camera is stuck in movie mode? Got the canon eos 800d like yours. Tried to dissasemble like in the video to see if the button was stuck, but its not..pushed every button there is on the camera without any change
I've never run into this problem, but I know many others have. Other than making sure that the main power switch is not in the video mode position, the only thing that I've read about that sometimes corrects the problem is to reset the camera back to factory defaults.
@@FroZenHousetown It will be called "Clear Settings" in the menu, and you will need to have the camera in a custom mode setting; "M", "P", "TV", or "AV", to actually see the "Clear Settings" option in the menu. I'll add a link here that shows how to clear the settings on a T7i, which will be the same on your 800D. Let me know if you are able to clear the settings, and if it corrects the problem that you are having. Here's the link: www.techsolutions.support.com/how-to/how-to-factory-reset-your-canon-eos-rebel-t7i-camera-11381
Hi Steve. No I haven't tackled the focus screen on the T7i yet. I do see a video that shows how to do the change out on a T3i (600D), which is also similar to how the 60D is when changing the focus screen. So hopefully the T7i is also similar. Sorry I can't be more help.
Bought 1 yr ago live view button not working. Only issue is when I go to view my still shots. LED screen works perfectly & everything else. Can't view a picture I take. Does cause issues while shooting. Not stuck kinda like it's just a dead button. Any suggestions.
Hi Tammy. This is a stab in the dark, but you could check to make sure that the connector shown at timestamp 8:24 is connected properly. The flat ribbon connected to it is what the live button is tied to. Other then that would be to replace the live button itself, but there is a lot of work just getting to that part. The power button, mode selection dial and some other parts are also part of that assembly. I talk about that section at timestamp 10:33. I don't have a video showing how to tear that section down though right now. I will in the near future, but not in time to help you out right now. Sorry I can't be more help.
Hi,my canon 77d will not power off,and is stuck in video mode.i don't use the camera much and don't use it in video mode. I see man people having the same problem with canon power switch,seem like they are faulty for so many people to have these issues.
There have been a few times where I would have to put a fair amount of downward pressure on the screwdriver while only turning just a little bit. So far, I have never stripped a screw head out. Just make sure that your screwdriver is fitting the screw head perfectly though. If it ever does happen that you strip a screw head out, you would need to drill the screw head off, and then try to remove the remaining screw part after you have removed the panel that the screw was holding down. Easy-outs and other screw extractors have never worked for me on these cameras because the screws are so small.
@@Thebobfactor do you recommend any specific brand or type to screwdriver. I used a pair that I bought at like harbor freight or Walmart and I wasn't confident with it
@@bigmaxluvzu I have used a few off brands and also a name brand like Sears Craftsman, that all worked well. The Craftsman is the one that I probably used in the video. You will want to take a very close look at the screwdriver tip though after using it for a while, or even after one time of trying hard to break a screw loose, and make sure that it isn't getting deformed or worn down or broken. That will cause a screw head to strip out very quickly. And be sure that you are using a #0000 (four-ought) tip. If the #0000 tip doesn't feel like it is going in the screw head far enough though, you may want to try one that is sized in millimeters instead, such as a 1.25mm head. This is slightly smaller then the #0000, and it may go further in the screw head and grab better. It can be a bit loose on some screw heads requiring a #0000 screwdriver, so you will need to be extra careful not to strip the screw head out. The 1.25mm screwdriver that I have is made by K-Wind.
@@bigmaxluvzu I don't see a link or picture here, but if it's a #0000 then it "should" work. It will come down to you testing it though to make sure that it is going all the way down to the bottom of the slots in the screw head. If it feels like it is not grabbing well, then it's probably not going in far enough and you may need to use something smaller like the 1.25mm I mentioned. Something else that I should point out is to make sure that the screwdrivers you are using are U.S. Standard Phillips Head, and not Japanese Standard Phillips Head (JIS). The two are slightly different and the JIS will not go into the slots far enough. So if it has a "JIS" written on the screwdriver, it won't work correctly.
Hi my dear friend, I appreciate so much your job and yours videos. I need a help pls... I need know how test the power board and know if my camera is dead or no. My camera is a DSLR Canon T3i (600D). I'm grateful for your support friend. Hugs.
Hi Gabriel. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the T3i at all. And I've yet to figure out a good testing method for this T7i, which doesn't have a separate power board similar to the 60D and some other cameras. Once I find an accurate way to test the power on this camera I will make a video showing how though.
Mine has a problem that it does not tell me how much life the battery has and it turns off out of nowhere and it’s extremely hard to turn it on again Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong ?
There is a contact in the bottom of the battery contact that is used to determine the current charge level of the battery. Look inside the battery compartment and make sure that there isn't something down there that might prevent the contacts from touching the contacts on the battery. Also, have you tried another battery?
@@josephgnegron6841 check the contact in the bottom of the battery compartment to make sure nothing is blocking it. If that's not it, then the next thing would be to check the flat ribbon cable that the contact connects to inside the camera to make sure that it is not loose. Unfortunately I don't have a video yet that shows removing the circuit boards.
Great help thanks. Your clip helped me repair and replace the broken lens contacts at minimal cost.

Hi Steve. No I haven't tackled the focus screen on the T7i yet. I do see a video that shows how to do the change out on a T3i (600D), which is also similar to how the 60D is when changing the focus screen. So hopefully the T7i is also similar. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@Thebobfactor ok than you will have to check that one out
Bought 1 yr ago live view button not working. Only issue is when I go to view my still shots. LED screen works perfectly & everything else. Can't view a picture I take. Does cause issues while shooting. Not stuck kinda like it's just a dead button. Any suggestions.
Hi Tammy. This is a stab in the dark, but you could check to make sure that the connector shown at timestamp 8:24 is connected properly. The flat ribbon connected to it is what the live button is tied to. Other then that would be to replace the live button itself, but there is a lot of work just getting to that part. The power button, mode selection dial and some other parts are also part of that assembly. I talk about that section at timestamp 10:33. I don't have a video showing how to tear that section down though right now. I will in the near future, but not in time to help you out right now. Sorry I can't be more help.
@@Thebobfactor thank you so much for taking time to reply. I will probably send to canon. No one locally does camera repairs. Again thank you so much.
Hi,my canon 77d will not power off,and is stuck in video mode.i don't use the camera much and don't use it in video mode. I see man people having the same problem with canon power switch,seem like they are faulty for so many people to have these issues.
That's possible that it's the switch Brian. I'm not familiar at all with the 77D unfortunately.
My screws are on tight or they are tight. Im afraid I will strip them. What do you recommend
There have been a few times where I would have to put a fair amount of downward pressure on the screwdriver while only turning just a little bit. So far, I have never stripped a screw head out. Just make sure that your screwdriver is fitting the screw head perfectly though. If it ever does happen that you strip a screw head out, you would need to drill the screw head off, and then try to remove the remaining screw part after you have removed the panel that the screw was holding down. Easy-outs and other screw extractors have never worked for me on these cameras because the screws are so small.
@@Thebobfactor do you recommend any specific brand or type to screwdriver. I used a pair that I bought at like harbor freight or Walmart and I wasn't confident with it
@@bigmaxluvzu I have used a few off brands and also a name brand like Sears Craftsman, that all worked well. The Craftsman is the one that I probably used in the video. You will want to take a very close look at the screwdriver tip though after using it for a while, or even after one time of trying hard to break a screw loose, and make sure that it isn't getting deformed or worn down or broken. That will cause a screw head to strip out very quickly. And be sure that you are using a #0000 (four-ought) tip. If the #0000 tip doesn't feel like it is going in the screw head far enough though, you may want to try one that is sized in millimeters instead, such as a 1.25mm head. This is slightly smaller then the #0000, and it may go further in the screw head and grab better. It can be a bit loose on some screw heads requiring a #0000 screwdriver, so you will need to be extra careful not to strip the screw head out. The 1.25mm screwdriver that I have is made by K-Wind.
@@Thebobfactor is this ok, it's one of 2 that have #0000 screwdriver
@@bigmaxluvzu I don't see a link or picture here, but if it's a #0000 then it "should" work. It will come down to you testing it though to make sure that it is going all the way down to the bottom of the slots in the screw head. If it feels like it is not grabbing well, then it's probably not going in far enough and you may need to use something smaller like the 1.25mm I mentioned. Something else that I should point out is to make sure that the screwdrivers you are using are U.S. Standard Phillips Head, and not Japanese Standard Phillips Head (JIS). The two are slightly different and the JIS will not go into the slots far enough. So if it has a "JIS" written on the screwdriver, it won't work correctly.
Hi my dear friend, I appreciate so much your job and yours videos. I need a help pls... I need know how test the power board and know if my camera is dead or no. My camera is a DSLR Canon T3i (600D). I'm grateful for your support friend. Hugs.
Hi Gabriel. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the T3i at all. And I've yet to figure out a good testing method for this T7i, which doesn't have a separate power board similar to the 60D and some other cameras. Once I find an accurate way to test the power on this camera I will make a video showing how though.
@@Thebobfactor Hi my friend, it's okay, no problem, anyway your videos are very good. And they gave me a great direction. Very grateful for that.
Mine has a problem that it does not tell me how much life the battery has and it turns off out of nowhere and it’s extremely hard to turn it on again
Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong ?
There is a contact in the bottom of the battery contact that is used to determine the current charge level of the battery. Look inside the battery compartment and make sure that there isn't something down there that might prevent the contacts from touching the contacts on the battery. Also, have you tried another battery?
@@Thebobfactor yes I have tried another battery but it does the same thing.
@@josephgnegron6841 check the contact in the bottom of the battery compartment to make sure nothing is blocking it. If that's not it, then the next thing would be to check the flat ribbon cable that the contact connects to inside the camera to make sure that it is not loose. Unfortunately I don't have a video yet that shows removing the circuit boards.
