Your 7 D is ten years old. KM has been out of the camera business for a long time. there are no parts available to fix this camera. Even if there were. Precision Camera  would charge you 300 dollars for the fix. You can buy another 7D for less than that. But it too will be subject e to failure with no cure.

I have a perfectly functional 7D with grip and KM flash  and every accessory with all the boxes and paper work. I spent 300 dollars back 8 years ago to have mine fixed before Sony took over KM and After the warranty was over. Once the fix was announced Sony sent me a check to cover the repairs. I would not sell my 7D for 800 dollars. There is no camera out there that produces such wonderful colors. That's why I keep it.. its not as much fun as my Sony A700 or my Sony A77 but those colors are simply amazing. I take it out and shoot it every couple of months and only wish I could get the same breathtaking color for my other cameras.. I shoot Raw and use Lightroom and cant get the same colors with the Sony's as I get with my 7D right out of the camera..
