70D - partial power up

[Nestor]

Hi everyone.  My 70D is not fully powering up.  The top display turns on and operates, the autofocus and viewfinder display also work but the LCD doesn't turn on and it doesn't take pictures when the shutter is fully pressed.  Has anyone experienced this issue and can you share how it was solved?

I think you should take it to the service centre. Don't play with it  I love (Link removed as per forum guidelines)

My 70D wasn't powering up at all. Thanks this forum, found out there's a sensor in SD card holder that impacts power. Sure enough, although I did not have an SD card in, the little flap that covers the slot was not properly closed. Adjusted it and the power is back!
