Einleitung

Follow this guide if your LCD monitor is cracked, shattered, or does not display any images. Please purchase a 3.0 inch LCD monitor for the Canon EOS 40D before you continue to the first step.

    • Locate the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the camera below the shutter button.

  2. FdjJdG4uRgXCLJYU

    • Find the marked arrow on the battery compartment cover labeled "BATT. OPEN". Slide the lever following the arrow's direction and lift at the same time to release the latch.

  3. dKOYUmyxPSLGl6yX

    • Release the lever and allow the battery compartment cover to completely open.

    • Remove the battery.

  4. NciCJ36PoTLinA35

    • Remove the rubber eyepiece by sliding it upwards.

    Take care to pull the entire eyepiece and not just the rubber part or the upper part that holds the rubber. Eventually, it stuck a bit. In that case, - carefully - use a screwdriver between the LCD and the eyepiece frame to push it upwards

    • Remove the side cover using a plastic opening tool or your hands.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to gently start prying the rear case up from the rest of the camera.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to disconnect the ZIF connector on the left side of the camera. The ribbon cable on this device was torn in the process of removing the back case, so there are no photos showing this step.

    • Disconnect the ribbon cable securing the rear case to the motherboard.

    • Separate the rear case from the camera.

    • Lift the LCD free of the rear case.

    • Remove the yellow tape covering the LCD ZIF connector.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to lift up the black retaining flap.

    • Pull the LCD ribbon cable out of the connector.

  9. hfNSLDxKZWNRFyUu

    • Use a pair of tweezers to disconnect the cable connector.

    • The LCD frame should now come free of the LCD panel.

  10. CnO5WsiI4xMiIPib

    • LCD panel remains.

    • It's a good idea to use a soft cloth to wipe the LCD screen and rear cover before reassembly.

    can I fit a canon eos 50D LCD screen to my canon 40D?

For the life of me, I cannot remove the two screws on either side of the view-finder!
