    Re: More 7D home surgery



    I tore my 40D down to the bone a couple of years ago to fix my shutter button. Without the button working properly all the time the body was basically a paper weight so I thought the risk was worth it. I assume my problems were caused by continued sweat from my hands and the combination of dust as I did some really tough event coverage back then. The overall process is really not that bad as long as you move through the process carefully and keep track of all the little screws so that it all goes back together properly.There are step by step tutorials online that can be found by people. The camera works as good as new once the internal shutter button area was cleaned.
