I tried to put it back in but it wouldn't go back in. is my slot/cable broken?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2025-01-0616.59.237605045982082584993.jpg" style="width: 1440px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/62630iD525F7D1F5CBDD5D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="2025-01-0616.59.237605045982082584993.jpg" alt="2025-01-0616.59.237605045982082584993.jpg" /></span></P><P> </P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2025-01-0616.59.431184463324366998743.jpg" style="width: 1440px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/62631iAE391D9C2973840F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="2025-01-0616.59.431184463324366998743.jpg" alt="2025-01-0616.59.431184463324366998743.jpg" /></span></P><P> </P> Mon, 06 Jan 2025 17:00:19 GMT Riftbreaker 2025-01-06T17:00:19Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-500D-floppy-cable-header-not-connecting/m-p/522446#M127872 <P>I was taking apart my canon EOS 500D because most buttons and the screen were not working. when I took it apart, I saw that the floppy cable connecting the main buttons and screen wasn't connected.
