70D froze up and now won't turn on after removing battery

[jeffminder]

My cannon has worked perfectly for a year.  Today I set up for a shoot and the video locked up when it was refocusing on the subject.  Simply locked up, camera froze like a Windows computer 🙂

I turned the power switch to off, but it didn't turn it off

I removed the battery and that worked to shut off the camera

I put the battery back in and I have no power, tried 2 batteries and a USB power but the camera, well...she be dead.

...any ideas?

Hello everyone!

I'm from Ukraine and I had same issue with my camera.

It was almost new (2-3 month) and one of the time I saw err70 err80. It also freezes and start heating up... I tried everything - to take out battery, on-off.. then it shutdown completly. I couldn't turn it on.

In service they said that main board and pcb power board is dead. So I paid a lot for new parts and settings.

Now today after few month of work I get other problem, screen and shutter is not working, but camera can be turned on. autofocus and small settings screen is working , also memory card holder is not blinking at all... 

In photo I'm Nikon user of d700 for many years with no problem, but I liked reviews of new autufocus of 70d and I wanted to give it a try for my video shoots... Now I'm very sorry for this. I will take it to the service one more time and will sell it next day... This camera is a peace of junk, I see a lot of problems all over internet that people have with it.

Did you ever get a resolve for your issue?

same exact thing happened to me. was even shooting video just like the original post. camera froze and image continued to show on screen even after I shut the camera off. Doesn't show anymore and camera will not power on with 2 different fully-charged batteries. I have owned the camera for 15 months now. Very disappointed...

Did you ever figure out a solution?

You still have the 70D not working?

[craigcude]

my camera is a EOS 70-D for reference.

This camera needs a recall CANON!!  My less than 1 year old canon 70D that I took care and pampered so much already shows problems.  Like what most of this people said, my 70D froze while I was recording a video.  I sent my 70D to canon to be repaired and the problem is the PCB.  It will cost me $459 to get it repaired, are you kidding me!

I'm having the same problem with my 70 D
It froze up while I was shooting a video interview. I'm using original batteries and I had normal use of the camera for 18 months.
The store sent it to Canon for a $40 fee for reparation estimate and after two weeks they want to charge me $230 to fix it up.
No way.
This camera needs a recall
Very disappointed, didn't know that Canon sucks that much

Now I'm stuck with a camera that doesn't work anymore no signal, nothing.....
