Sudden death/weirdness of my T4i

OK this is going to sound weird so please bear with me

I have a T4i.  Have used it for close to 2 years without any problem on the still side or the video side

Was shooting a play tonight using video. After 1 minute of filming the screen went black

I took out the battery and put it back in

The screen, when I shift to using to LCD screen for video or live view shows a rainbow like series of colors.  I can't get it to film anything with the rainbow on the screen.  I have to take the battery out

To attempt to cure this I updated the firmware - no change.  I did a low level reformat of TWO cards.  No change.  I replaced the battery with a second battery - no change.

I have read on Canon forums that this happens but the firmware was supposed to fix it.

I am stumped and now i have an expensive brick instead of a camera.

Can anyone suggest what I should do?

Thanks

Mark

Canon EOS Rebel T4i (EOS 650D / EOS Kiss X6i)
