600D (T3i) Screen Rotation Fault

[JordanAsh84]

Hey guys!

Pleased to be on the forum!

So... I have a 600D (T3i) that I use as a secondary camera, but the screen rotation sensor has gone (a while ago now), so there's only a certain (very precise) position that it actually rotates to the flip the screen orientation. 

Can anyone help me with what part I'd need to buy in order to replace this and get my screen working back to full potential, please?

I really want to use this for more shooting, but the fact the text is upside down when putting the screen in isn't really for me, and I'd rather not have to have the screen out when just taking pictures. 

Many thanks, 
Jordan.

I'm asking on the off chance someone knows. Like I said as the very start, it's a secondary camera, so I don't need a quick answer, and am more than happy to wait to see if anyone knows.

I made it clear it wasn't urgent, just an irritating thing I'd like to correct, and if anyone can help.

A sarcastic reply telling me to reconsider my hobby doesn't help, does it? I'm pleased to hear you've never had money struggles in your life, but maybe if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?

From what you've told us, my suggestion would be to take it apart and see if you can fix it without a new part. Since the display does work, the chances are that something in the orientation circuitry has just come loose or worn through. It's not what I'd do; but my experience with building electronics is ancient, while yours apparently isn't.

I'll give it a go and have a look, that's also part of why I want to get a part myself, as I'd like to do it myself, and learn. 

Thanks for the reply.
