Guys, guys! I did it, I fixed the broken plastic pin of the submirror on my EOS 300d. It was actually easier than I thought it would be and I saved myself £85! :)

If anyone else has this problem here is a link.

Look, autofocus works again!

As you maybe aware, I am rather pleased with myself! :)
 
Blimely! that looked a bit scary. Glad you managed to fix yours - Well done Kyle. I am too chicken to even clean my sensor.:lol:
 
Lots of b@lls for that repair Kyle.... Well done indeed....:woot:
 
You did all that:eek:
Well done:thumbs:
 
I was just getting sick of manual focussing, I'd missed too many great snapshots and though, "enough of this", and set to work!

I think that I had the confidence to do it because a, I am getting a replacement in a few months and b, the 300d is dead cheap nowadays!

It only took a few hours when I got the last 2 screws out (the ones in the battery compartment) - I couldn't get them out for a while because my screwdriver couldn't reach!

At first when I turned it on some of the buttons on the back didn't work, but that was because I didn't attach the ribbon cable properly! :)
 
Hehe, it's a friends... cat. ^_^

She is very difficult to photograph as she is rather shy, I think I snuck up on her on that one.
 
Whoa... check out the big balls on Kyle! :clap:
 
:'( I'm asking the mods to remove this thread

If the Mrs sees it she'll make me take the 30D back that I got because I had the same problem with my 300D.

Seriously though I salute you - That looks way too scary to try..... Well done !!

Oh, and you can have a crack at mine if you like
 
I think it easier to take shots of someone else’s pussy:nuts: then your own oops what I meant was (too late – way too late) :gag:that it is sometimes easier to take photos of other peoples pets as your own react to you but others don’t...
Does this make sense?:shrug:



ps sorry sorry sorry
 
Well done, not everyone would attempt that!
 
WOW......no chance i would try that:nono: i probably
would not get to the first stage. £85 would be well spent getting Canon to do the repair.


:canon:
 
Congratulations I bet doing that is one the most satisfying things you have ever done, great stuff.
 
Nice job, well done. You can now spend £85 on more kit :)
 
:clap: well done kyle :clap:
looks like a tricky bit of work - but you got a result!
 
Hi, I didn't know you had probs with it, but congratulations for being brave with attempts to fixing it yourself. :thumbs:
