Re: 550D T2i Live View / Video button stuck

I've seen some youtube videos on how some people rescued a sticky shutter button by pouring some alcohol through the camera from the inside out. In this case they removed the battery and memory card and turned the camera so the shutter button was at the lowest point. Then they spoon fed a little alcohol thru the open battery door until it found its way out the shutter button. You might be able to do something similar for the live view button. You'd have to be careful not to get any on the shutter or sensor.
