Re: Did that fix your camera?

My 2005 Rebel XT has started going blank usually after swapping the rechargeable battery. Taking both batteries out for an extended period has so far revived the camera necessitating the time / date being re-entered. If I had to guess I would suspect one of the capacitors is starting to go bad and expect the problem to get worse with age. Even if the circuit assembly is available I would guess it is priced high enough to make it uneconomic to repair even if you can find a repair shop. Although I have a hate for Canon not updating drivers and making their photo suites hard to reinstall on a new PC, I guess Ill have to think about replacing it and bite the bullet on their bad customer support.
