Canon EOS 60D: Soldering battery door latch switch?

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 12:26:01 -0700

In short, what do i need to re-solder the battery door latch switch?

A few days ago my canon 60d suddenly stopped working, it turned on once after i waited a while but the screen glitched out and it died and wouldn’t turn on since then. I was filming in the heat on the beach constantly in the sun. I was trying to find a fix for my dead camera and some people said i should push the tiny switch that is under the battery door so i did, i tried that a few times, no luck with switching on the camera and i was thinking i’m doing something wrong and then tried it again and it went to one side and then broke off.

Now i disassembled it and found the switch, so now i want to solder it back in the right place and i want to know what tools do i need (Heat gun, solder with a tiny tip) or some kind of paste.

P.S. If you know, please tell me the reason why my camera suddenly died. Could it have been from overheating, because i didn’t turn it off, it was in the sun and the battery was empty.

The Switch:

The spot where it was:

Canon EOS 60D: Why is the image not being recorded?

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 05:21:17 -0700

Why does the shutter release when I press the shutter button but no image appears on the LCD?

Even though the battery is charged, the shutter works, the memory is empty.

Canon EOS 60D: Camera works.. but not quite

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:31:07 -0700

I obtained this 60D (from ebay) as not working, actually it was sort-off operational but screen wouldn’t come on and it wouldn’t communicate with Utility app (the app started but it couldn’t recognize the type of the camera). The LCD, top buttons and shutter work, but it seems it can’t save the image to memory card (the red LED goes and stays ON..

I opened the back cover (most of screws were missing) and it seems someone tried to do the same but gave up at this point (?).

Anyway, based on symptoms described above, would I be right to conclude the main board is faulty and it would be OK to replace it (I have it from another one which works OK, apart from broken shutter)?

Thanks in advance,

Bojan

Canon EOS 60D: 60D quick control menu not visible

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 10:32:22 -0700

I just bought a Canon 60D and while i was setting it up for use as a webcam i tried to integrate either EOS utility 1 or 2 with OBS it broke my camera. It didnt respond so i turned it off and didnt think much of it.

A while later i turned it on again and whenever i switch to any other mode than movie the screen goes black, i can take pictures and look at them i can also go into the menu but i cant for any reason look at (i think its called) the quick control menu with all the camera settings like shutterspeed.

Anyone know of this problem and how to solve it?

Canon EOS 60D: Canon EOS60D USB Interface Board Replacement.

Sat, 21 Aug 2021 09:49:18 -0700

My Canon EOS60D was on a tripod with USB cable in place. Tripod was knocked over and camera landed on the Port side, meaning that the USB plug hit the floor first. Since then the USB connection has not worked although all other camera functions are fine including HDMI interface and remote trigger.

Is it possible to replace the USB interface board and if so, how? I’ve looked at your guides and none go as far as accessing the USB board.

Thanks in advance

Canon EOS 60D: How do I fix the broken display on my 60D?

Sat, 30 Jan 2021 17:54:52 -0700

Hello! Today when I tried using my Canon 60D I noticed the display was all purple. You could still distinguish a tiny bit of detail and its brightness changed with that of the scene. After a few restarts, however, the purple color went away but so did any other bit of detail. I can still notice the display is on, but there's simply no information on it. I also noticed there is more pressure needed to close the display than before (still not a lot, but around 2 times as much). Here's a video of what's happening: https://vimeo.com/506319268?ref=em-share. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Canon EOS 60D: Camera won't start without the grip attached

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 13:43:48 -0700

I just bought a used Canon 60D. It works just fine with the grip attached. However, if I take out the grip and install the battery it won't start. Should I try to apply some vinegar on the camera contacts just in case they are corroded?
