Awesome stuff. I found out the rubber was stretched on the aperture dial so I ordered a new ring from amazon. I followed these instructions to the T, then when I put a battery in after reassemble . . nothing! Must be a connection wire not fully plugged in.
Did you see what Cristian said below, about the battery door or the SD card door? Either of those can stop the camera from showing any sign of life if they, for some reason, show as open. I didn't look into that part closely but it seems easy to bend some contacts slightly so the doors might register as open. Anyways hope you figured it out!
follow up 1: I double checked if everything was fine, it was but it still did not work. I removed battery, card, put them back in and after a while it powered on. Now, occasionally it does not turn on. I noticed that I have to open the sd card slot door and close it hard (slamming it almost) and it turns on. Any suggestions? I might have to send this in to an expert.
Glad you were able to narrow it down to the card reader door. The 6d does normally shut off when the sd card door opens. There's a tiny button the door presses as it shuts, you can see it right next to the card slot. If you happen to be inside it again you'll possibly see why it's not making a good connection?
@@Live-DIY follow up 2: hey yes, thank you very much for your quick response! I was looking at another canon 6d camera and saw that there is a small switch as you said. That switch is like a sensor that does not let the camera power on unless the sd card door is shut. There is one also at the battery door, both have to be shut so that the camera turns on. My problem was that when I assembled the camera back, I somehow forced a tiny metal plate against the sd card door's switch and it did not made contact with the door anymore when it closed. THANKFULLY it did not break and I managed to put it back in place. Thanks once again for your video, I followed along and it was very useful 👍👍

I will live with this flaw... Putting all back together will not guarantee the camera will be alive
yea if this was my camera I would have super glued it or something instead of doing ALL that work.
