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.

The thing is, I'm rather short on money, so the cheaper I can do it (myself), the better.

As with most repair services, sending it to the manufacturer is going to cost more than if I can just do it myself, even if that means buying a whole screen.

It would be against forum rules for someone to tell you where to buy an LCD screen. I would start with asking Canon for one.

Repairing cameras require a number of tools that most people do not have on hand, and probably cost more than having the camera professionally repaired. DIY repairs can also introduce other issues, most especially foreign objects into the camera body.

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.

Thank you for your reply, Waddizzle. I did email Canon before posting to see what they'd say but thought I'd ask here also.

Thanks for the help.
