CANON EOS 2000D DSLR CAMERA - No Power Fault After 400K Photos - Trying to FIX

- Hi, in this video I attempt to fix a camera sent over by Daan all the way from Singapore. After taking 400,000 photos, the camera now doesn't power on.
Can it be fixed?
The main time-lapse isn't finished yet, but check out Daan's one day time-lapse on this link here taken with this camera • Timelapse from a day i...

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

Vince - your patience amazes me. If that had been me the camera would have been thrown out the window a long time ago. Amazing work as always
The shutters on modern (pro level) digital cameras are rated for around 150,000 activations. This 2000D is on the bottom end of mid range for consumer DSLR cameras. I am guessing the rating on that shutter is 100k or fewer activations.
If the camera has 400,000+ on it just call it a day. Some things are worth saving and some aren't. A 5+ year old camera that has taken nearly half a million photos is done. No matter what you do if you dont replace the mechanisms for the shutter and mirror they will fail sooner rather than later. They weren't built with 400,000+ photos in mind when this camera was designed.
This camera can be bought new with a kit lens for $5450 and resell sites have them for around $250 with between 1k and 30k shutter activations.
400,000 photos on a consumer level digital camera is probably about 4x as many as you should expect. This camera has lived a hard life, maybe it's time to let it retire to a nice cabin in the woods. That is a ridiculous amount of photos for what was designed as an entry to mid-level consumer DSLR. I have seen a Rebel t5i with nearly 800,000 clicks and the owner said it had never been serviced and still worked like new. So this T7 could go for many more years. Good work as always.
He fixed a whole tear in a ribbon cable that's amazing!
I said to myself I would never take apart a Canon camera again .. I remember the hours I’ve spent on fixing them in the past … give you lots of credit Vince good job 👍
I removed the focus screen in mine to clean it as it had dust on it. That was enough for me.
5:07 anyone else’s breath was held when he tried to force the lens off? Oh gosh. Good thing you found the release mate 😅
Incredible perseverance as always, Vince! 👍 I'm pretty sure I would have given up! Love the photos at the end too. Great job! 🤩
Nice one Steve, it was challenging to say the least...I still don't know 100% what the fault was which leaves it slightly unfinished, which is a shame.
Thanks for the video. You need to be a bit more carefull though when you handle this kind of electronics. You make some big moves when opening and handeling the camera and you should work on your fine motoring dexterity.
I own this camera (known as the Canon Rebel T7 in the US), and it is my first DSLR. I am glad I picked out a camera capable of 400,000+ photos!
Man these things scare me. They're way too intricate for me to want to mess with. Hats off vince, great fix.
By the way, you're sounding a bit under the weather in this video. Hope you and the family are good mate
@44:48 love the reaction! I'm sure every viewer got a kick out of that bit. Truly great seeing how your troubleshooting skills have progressed over time. Watching you troubleshoot is really great. Keep up the brilliant work.
48:35 I was thinking earlier in the video 'I wish he wouldn't poke at those delicate parts with those sharp tweezers".
49:06 - Thanks for showing this, you prevented a lot of people making this mistake. Sharp surgical knife and repeated movement is solution to dispose copper from trace then bridge it. I have never seen someone fixing flat cable that was that much damaged, great job really.
Love this channel. I have learned a lot about electronics, plus your voice is very relaxing. I like that the videos are longer and you include all your mistakes. The process of how to locate the problem is really helpful.
Fantastic video, my eyes were glued to the screen. The outro was beautiful. Thank you.
Reviewing your pictures at the end, I have a feeling that the camera is focusing too close. However, this is a setting in the firmware (on my 5D at least it is). Since you removed the coin cell battery, the factory focus setting is probably gone. You should look online how to microtune the focus. This can usually be done in software, this is not a hardware setting. Also for some, you were probably too close. This is not a macro lens you've got on :)
I must say that i am impressed that it works after half a million clicks. Pretty impressive for something built like a cheap plastic toy.
I only came across you a few days ago and I'm totally addicted to your videos.
The "tube" is a lightpipe, I think it's for the exposure metering mechanism.
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN No it isn't. The sensor cleaning on these uses a piezo transducer.
you're right skonk, it's a glass fiber to transfer a portion of flash light onto the light sensor mounted on the main PCB.
Makes the R2D2 repair look like childs play. Great job
It worked!!!! Other solutions didn’t but this did! Thank you
It been said, 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words', now Efforts, Hours, Days . . . _and don't forget_ - *Many more VIEWS. Bravo!*
I love your videos they are not edited you get to see the repairs... Iv leaned alot from you... Please use safety glasses i still need to see more from you brother
I'd have given up at the ribbon cable point! The pictures look OK, just a narrow depth of field caused by wide apperture. Close the lens aperture down and either use a higher ISO setting or a longer exposure and more depth will be in focus.
You can see why these things are expensive the complexity that goes into a modern camera is amazing.
“Annoyingly we will have to take it apart” …
that’s why I’m here :)
22 min in and you need to have more confidence Vince! You have loads of experience fault finding. I couldn't even conceive of doing what you do! You're amazing at repairs! Keep up the good work! I have 100% confidence in you! You can do it!
Excellent =D I really enjoyed that! When scratching ribbons, use the tip of a scalpel or super sharp tool. Fibreglass is fine when there aren't holes in it ;)
Thanks Chris, good tip. With every scrape I caused another 10 minutes of painful eye straining soldering!!! 👍👍😎
@@Mymatevince I tell you what though - Cameras look like a nightmare to tear down lol!!!
I could go to sleep, or I could watch Vince's new video. I guess I'll say hello for the next hour, midnight in Germany can be quite nice.
Same Here in MG/germany
Haven't watched your videos in awhile which has been a mistake. Put this on and had a major epiphany about what I was working on 20 minutes in. By the end I finally got my code to do something I've been trying to accomplish for over a month. Your videos always get my brain turning just right.
I love when Vince gets excited hahaha Good Job Vince!
Daan met zijn gedroogde banaan haha. Netherlands also here!
Amazing job! Loved the persistence. The additional damage was just part of the learning process. That's why it's "trying to fix". Keep up the great job. Really love these longer videos.
Hi Vince, love your videos, always waiting for the next one 😄, maybe when you took the internal battery out you reset the board, i had the same problem with a flir IR camera, not working, not charging and all it was needed to work was removing the internal battery and put it back, is still working to this day, greetings from portugal, 🇵🇹
Very good job Vince , as always! I always follow You. A very strong hug from Pieralberto ! i' m italiam , sorry for my English !
Screamed yes so loud when it came on, the wife heard me from the garden 🤣. Nice video Vince.
I used to take apart disposable cameras that were disposed of.
I used to gut them for the electronic components and I remember the times I used to get a horrible shock from the damn capacitor. I was always fascinated how so much voltage was created from two mere Alkaline AA batteries!
Well done Vince, you had the patience and perseverance both of which are a must for such an intricate job!
Giver yer self a pat on the back again!
Very well done weather you see it as not a full fix it's still a fix never the less 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers Jinxy 👍
Great video as always vince👍
Great video MMV, but never ever mess with a CCD unless you have the correct equipment to set it back up. I learnt this when I used to repair fax machines. 👍🏻
Thank you for teaching me something today!! I have used fax machines since their rise in popularity and I never realized that a CCD was involved.
"The fax machine typically has a CCD or photo-diode sensing array. It contains 1,728 sensors (203 pixels per inch), so it can scan an entire line of the document at one time. The paper is lit by a small fluorescent tube so that the sensor has a clear view."
@@TechGorilla1987 No problem, so if you ever have to move a fax machine treat it as FRAGILE, because if you bash it around and unseat the CCD it'll usually end up as scrap. 👍🏻 I once had a customer try to fax a piece of tartan fabric ?!?! 😆🤦🏻♂️
They aren't CCD anymore, they're CMOS sensors. Different technology :)
I reckon the fault was caused by the "peak" that he had inside! Maybe it was a sharp peak. (I'm referring to the letter from Daan.)
Back in the days of film cameras, the day after my wedding, I dismantled a "Praktika Super TL" and eventually found that the coil spring of the meter had jumped over the back end of the needle and had jammed it in the zero position. So, no matter what you set the aperture to, it was always correct! As a result, our wedding photos mostly turned out black. After I'd reassembled the camera, I was left with two "spare" washers but it worked perfectly for years afterwards.
Very nice timing since I just borrowed an eos camera from my uncle! One thing though, you shouldn’t run your fingers over those lens contacts, since the oils on your fingers could make them start to corrode
Electronic etc. This is for genius!!! Congratulations knowledge. You are amazing man👍👍👍
You’ve outdone yourself with this repair mate! Good on ya!
Nice video, it shows that these things are incredible delicate and sensitive. But you managed to get it going. It was great to follow you in that quest.
excellent job mate. i guess we can call that school of hard knocks. next time you'll know better.
44:50 - What I watch these for, you didn't disappoint!
Thanks mate you inspired me to buy a used Xbox 360 controller and try and refurbish it (change out thumbsticks and dpad) and it worked!!!
Canon will do a focus adjustment if you need it (I've had it done a few times for free). Shouldn't be a big deal. Superb fix Vince. I had zero hopes for this to be working.
That ribbon cable sucks though as it's not an easy replacement I would guess :( Although you could find a replacement LCD on eBay. These usually fail with shutter problems so the LCDs should be good.
Brillant, Brillant,Billant........Amazing.
Great results
18:36 - those are zero ohm resistors, used as a link (R00 = 0 ohms). Easier for the pick and place machine to place than a wire link!
Fusible resistors?
@@supergeekjay No, wouldn't make sense in those locations and they couldn't be relied upon to go open circuit.
Wow. Well done Vince. Very good job.
My 700d is similar and the screen is not essential to use but is required to setup the camera so I can see the issue. The picture button pressed half way down drops the mirror mechanism so that might have helped as a test early on. I found this a great video so thankyou very much
wonderful work, the thrill, the emotion on finding the solution fascinates me, thank you for the video. ♥♥♥
I was really happy you got the camera to work
Your videos are always a joy to watch, cheers!
I really appreciate your effort. Finally the camera works. 👍
I hate those type of ribbon cables with a passion.
Now I understand why you didn't want the Camera I offered :P. Great job as always Vince!
I always can't waite for you're relaxing and enjoyable videos 👍
blurred pics: you have to use autofocus first to get it sharp to the senosr and with that then set the view finder to your eyes dioptries and then you can focus manually. otherwise you set it to something sharp but only for the eye and not the sensor.
Hungover Vince fixing a camera is brilliant 🤣👌
Pics look good Vince!, 👍
Yes!!..the MMV bugle player is back!
The thing that blows my mind, is how did they make a seven-dimensional (it says 7D) mango? When growing mangos, the best I've been able to achieve is 4 dimensions. Those mangos must be out of this world. Another fun video, much thanks, Vince (and Daan)
The copper coloured square thing that you were probing after the DC input cap and puzzled about its purpose is the charge pump transformer for the big cap on the other side that generates the 300V dc for the flash.
44:44 Kudos!! Good job man wow..
Love the no power ones!
nicely done.. my 500D was like this before.. i take it apart n bathe the mainboard with IPA then it works.. got me through a few wedding jobs before it really needed a mainboard change.. still worth it .. btw- the shutter is an easy fix if you have the right parts and tools, adjusting the focus is hell without the proper tools 😂😂
Good job Vince nice one to keep going beyond anything but hey you learn more about stuff everyday keep safe bro respect ☺️
Wow vince very impressive repair 😍
So far every video lately I've been hearing the wife doing the dishes 😂😂, love your videos keep up the good work 👍
He has a dishwasher his already fixed it? unless its broke again? expect a vid soon.
Yay great job...persistance counts.
Very nice repair, DSL are very difficult to work on👍👍👍👍
Nice
Loved this video! I have the same camera so it's very interesting to see it being taken apart ;) Thanks for the content, Vince!
Vince , love your channel, addictive and your excitement when you work how to sort it is infectious…. More… the screws on most if not all Japanese or Indeed manufactured on the Japanese behalf are JIS screws and a Japanese Industry Standard driver is recommended… Phillips or Pozi will strip or burr the screw heads. Hope this helps…. Fab work by the way…
good music at the end
Soldering part was tricy. Nice work Vince
Cool I want the cam
As a keep sake from your repairs 💗❤️💗❤️
Vince I have a Google Nest 3rd generation learning thermostat no power which I had replaced by google under warranty. You can have the broken one for a try to fix video - it’s complete and has never been opened. Please save it from landfill !
I noticed you don't use a hammer on sensitive electronics. If you do use one make sure you ground it! I've learned that throwing things or yelling at them doesn't usually work but makes you feel better! Cool channel!
A hammer doesn't SOLVE the problem but it makes it disappear! :)
Nice video MMV, appreciate your determination!
Hi Vince, you create the best content ever :)
Brilliant well done Vince 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
@16:00 the pcb is the switch, the fingers short across it, you need to measure the pcb in the different switch positions.
If you don't find any use for this camera, I would happily buy it from you, I've been trying to get an entry level camera after borrowing a friend's, but the prices are crazy, even if it is unreliable I'd be more that happy to make use of it
Great save as always Vince. :)
Best part of the video, 29:17 vince pops something of and realized: "fuck I forgot to remember how to put it back on in the right direction." I could smell the sweat on his forehead xDD but then, luckily it is idiot proof hahah was that an outing?🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Like your videos. Where did you get that neat blue work mat that you have there? One of those would be ideal. Thanks! 🙂
good job mate.
This has clean HDMI output, it would make an EXCELLENT streaming camera ! :)
Great Job.
Brilliant entertainment but you did a couple of Vince special mabe you should do a couple more cameras those are so advance but you showed that they are repairable!
Thank you!
Great video as always!
I really enjoyed this video, would you be willing to do more DSLR camera repairs in the future?
Hey vince, im a fellow brit also living in Singapore :)
Love the channel, please do more episodes lol
Same
You don't need the switch to test these cameras, if you put the batery they will star reading the SD Card and enter Power Off state. The main power does not goes trought the On/Off Switch. My guess is that the issue was something in the display all along.
The fading screen seems like a capacitor discharging but I could be wrong also you probably can buy a new screen with ribbon cable, the pictures didn't seem that bad maybe a little blurr on some further away items like it focused on what was right in front instead of the whole image
Man I wish I had one of those. Even if it was broke. I love trying to fix things. I wanted to start streaming maybe and eventually want to get a setup.
Great vince 400k is pretty good for a shutter my 50d i had 7k pictures when i bought it & when failed it was over 200k I think it would have gone longer but it failed after rain think it destroyed it
