Get in contact with Canon Elstree - is it out of warranty?

And fixation in London

 

[Judi]

Unfortunately yes out of warranty. Anyone know anything about H Lehmann, Stoke on Trent ?

 

[Whippet]

They have a good reputation. DigitalRev use them for warranty repairs. I took my Tamron 24-70 to them to confirm it was faulty which they did within 24 hrs, so not had any work done personally.

Have you also tried taking out the small clock / memory button battery?

 

[Judi]

No, I haven't Tom, will go try to find it didn't know there was one, thanks

 

[Judi]

Cant find a small clock/memory button battery Tom, looked everywhere, could it be the Canon 70d doesn't have one?

I've never had a Canon body without one, Judi, but anything's possible. I'm not familiar with the 70D but suspect that the cell is slipped in a slot directly below the hinge on the main battery door.

It's located inside the body, so have to dismantle it.
Not a diffcult job if it's out of warranty and you're feeling brave. I've had my 70D apart a few times the last few weeks making some cleaning and replacing a couple of components, loadsa fun
