5D Mark II viewfinder display replacement

Would anyone know how much canon would charge to replace my viewfinder display?

Are you referring to the focus screen, or the electronic display?

The focus screen is end-user replaceable (Canon sells optional focus screens and you can put them in yourself.)

I don't know what Canon charges to replace the electronic display. You'd need to contact them.

EDIT: Nevermind... I just noticed your other post that it's the LED brightness issue -- not the focus screen.

Also, I still have a 5D II and I'm checking all the menus -- there is an adjustment for the rear LCD screen brightness, but I can't find one for the LEDs in the viewfinder. I thought perhaps altering the LCD brightness might also affect the viewfinder, but as far as I can tell, the brightness in the viewfinder doesn't change regardless of what I do to the LCD brightness.
