Weird polarized view on older Canon DSLR EOS 5D (DIY sharing)

The phenomenon came all of a sudden when I switched on my long forgotten EOD 5D. It came exactly same as the description I found in an online forum.

After some hesitation, I opened up the back plate of the camera to give it a try. As I have no idea how to open it and where to find the screws, I searched and found the video below.

It's about 40D but it provided the information required. Both cameras are similar in design.

 

I removed the two flat cables. Inserted a pieces of foam under the loop of the cable connected to the LCD Panel. Removed the cable attached to the LCD back panel. Inserted it back and add a small piece of tape to reinforce and hold it in place more securely.

 

I put everything back and the LCD display is now back to normal.

I ridiculed those who don't do their own repair ?? Really ?? Where is it ? Please quote and thank you.

What makes you think that there is the implication that you are a Canon..... ? What have I said ?

I don't come here a lot coz I find it quite disturbing seeing people criticizing others doing thing STUPID.

Hold it. Do not quote my word. I didn't say that you are stupid. I know the guidelines of the forum and I respect others.
