lightwriting by swapan Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 <p>I had a brand new 5D MKII attached to a 70-200 2.8L MK II.<br> I was traveling on a very dusty road in an open jeep in Rajasthan, India.<br> I covered the camera with my wind breaker once I realized what the road situation was to protect it(camera).<br> Back in the hotel, after cleaning the camera, I noticed that there was an accumulation of dust on the LCD screen under the glass, about 5 mm in diameter! Only at one spot. Did not see<br> Why did this happen ?<br> What do I do now ?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulferesten Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 <p>There is actually a protective plastic cover which can be removed and replaced. Canon sells replacement parts for this as well as adhesive tape to reapply the LCD cover. You just need to be careful to properly remove the cover and it might be worthwhile having a repair shop do it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwriting by swapan Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 <p>Thanks Paul.</p> <p>Are you telling me that the dust is under the plastic cover ON the surface of the LCD panel ? I dont even know what covers the panel. Is it a glass covering the panel and the plastic covering the glass or is it only a plastic that covers the LCD panel that I need to remove and replace ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulferesten Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 <p>Yes, the LCD cover is just a plastic one and it can be replaced. Canon sells the replacement parts.

jeffrey_c1 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 <p>Take a look at the link that Paul posted. You need to get CB-4949-000 from Canon. They'll ship it to you.</p> <p>Now to take the LCD over off, find yourself a suction cup and use that to pry the existing LCD off. I used a suction cup that came with my shower glass squiggy from Bed Bath and Beyond to pry of the existing plastic. If you go slow, you'll be able to reuse the plastic cover. Once you have the plastic cover off, clean the LCD and the LCD cover. Replace the adhesive and then place the plastic cover back in place.</p> <p>Good Luck.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwriting by swapan Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 <p>Guys,</p> <p>I am sorry- I think I did not make it clear which LCD panel I was talking about.</p> <p>It is the tiny one ON TOP of the camera where you have settings and info. NOT the LCD on the BACK of the camera.</p> <p>Is it removable and replaceable also ?</p> <p>thanks</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulferesten Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 <p>I don't know about that one but I'm sure that the Canon Parts Department can help you.<br> You can reach them at 732-521-7230 <p> </p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
