Thank you! Thank you!! I rescued my 6D. All your steps and details were very useful.

Few points to add:

  1. I think the black screw (yellow circle) from step 7 is 3 mm.

  2. Lift the light brown flap that holds the ribbon cable before removing the LCD panel.

  3. When you remove the LCD panel from the metal housing, you will have to pry the two strips of adhesive that is there.

  4. Be careful when tightening the screws back.

Please add to setp 8: The ribbon cable is connected to the camera via a plug (the gold colored PCB has a male plug on the other side of the PCB). This plug is at the end of the spudger. You need to pull that PCB boar/plug straight up from the camera (perpendicular to the camera)

Is there a guide for changing the protective screen on the back of the camera only? Like when it’s scratched or cracked and the lcd works just fine?
