Einleitung

After long term use, it is possible that the flash module on your camera is stuck in position and can only be opened manually, or the light has burnt out. In either case it is safe to say that the module needs to be replaced. Use caution when removing the module because there are several wire harnesses connecting the module to the motherboard.

    • Place the camera upside down, and position it to where the back of the camera is visible.

  2. B6oKTtSBscpBBZgQ

    • Pull the orange tab to the right to release the primary battery.

  3. LShBoBNhsd3GPMsj

    • To remove the secondary battery, reposition the camera to where the display screen is facing upwards.

    • Place your finger inside the empty battery compartment and pull away from the camera on the ridged battery tab.

    I have the rebel xti as well, and have the same issue, and i have 2 new primary batteries, and 1 new secondary battery, and 1 new charger, yet the camera, still will not turn on. So, if not the battery or the battery charger, what could be the problem? Ty

What is the part number for the Module, or where can it be readily found?

Between steps 7 and 8, you left out removing the rest of the body covers. The top won't come off without removing the front, back, and sides.
