thanks for video. i managed to wash my 40d in salt water. sending to repair is not an option as it’ll cost more than camera. i’ll try….

i’ll be cleaning my shutter button on my 40D soon as i was having the same problems you were having.. it doesnt look too hard.. just a few things you have to keep track of and be careful with.. i’ll be sure to take lots of pics..

btw, when you pealed the rubber gripping off of the front and back of the camera, does it just stick back on when you put it back or do you have to put additional glue or adhesive?

very similar… screw locations and ribbon cables might be slightly different… but should be very much the same.

If you are going to …
If you are going to do this, make sure you keep track of your screws. Draw each side of the camera on a piece of paper and put the screws down where they came from. I also had two screws that got the heads stripped. I had to use a Dremel with a tiny engraving bit to grind off the heads.

I doubt you broke …
I doubt you broke anything. The square connector on the lower ribbon connector is easy to get partway in – but you have to press on both sides to make sure it’s all the way in. And there was a yellow piece of tape on mine that was getting in the way that I had to move.
