Canon Rebel EOS XTi DSLR Camera LCD Screen Replacement

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

15

Time Required

25 minutes - 1 hour

Introduction

The Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).

  1. eVNaGnROZKlM5UPX

    • 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

    • Place the camera on its side with the soft touch grip facing up and the top of the camera facing right.

  5. IJfkvVOxfSbMWfpP

    • Slide the memory card door in the direction of the arrow engraved on the camera.

    • Once the door has slid open to its full position, lift up on the door.

  6. EouHaNMKYtujTXih

    • With the door open, push down the small black plunger next to the CF slot. The CF card will disengage from the slot and be ejected far enough that you can grasp it between thumb and forefinger and remove it from the slot.

    • The plunger will stay in its depressed position until a CF card is again inserted in the slot.

  7. chsDUW4eW1iT6bgo

    • Remove the three black M3x4mm JIS #000 screws on the bottom of the camera.

  9. 56PyANZVbsMDHDBt

    • Remove the two M3x5mm JIS #000 screws on the side of the camera opposite to the hand grip.

  10. 2rFAMPqxTM6KiRGL

    • Remove the following screws located in the memory card slot:

    • Two M3x2mm JIS #000 screws

    • Gently pry off the back casing.

    • Before completely removing the back casing, be sure to disconnect the single ribbon cable running from the motherboard to the LCD display.

    • Use a spudger to lift the tab on the ribbon cable's ZIF connector.

    • Gently pull the ribbon cable out of the connector.

  12. mUpHUlFq3comIiOc

    • Remove the ribbon that connects the back housing to the camera logic board. Remove the cable by flipping the black part 90 degrees up away from circuit board. Pull the ribbon cable out carefully.

    • Remove the screen ribbon cable from the connection. Follow the same procedure from the last step.

  13. GGKpxVMVJMXKQSsM

    • Remove the following screws from the inside of the back cover:

    • Six Phillips #000 screws around the metal backing

    • Two Phillips #000 screws by the plastic piece to remove proximity sensor

  14. XCtvAZjUVNrEOwfw

    • Carefully remove the old screen from the display board. There are 4 metal clips that hold the LCD screen to the backlight. Carefully bend them slightly outwards and the screen should come out. Pull the ribbon cable out with the screen.

  15. w3gSZigKsyJD4fxG

    • Carefully thread the ribbon cable from the replacement LCD screen through the hole in the metal casing. The ribbon cable from the screen has to go on top of the existing cable. You may need a spudger or toothpick to get the new cable on top.

    • Connect the ribbon cable from the new screen to the connection socket.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
