Re: RE:Sticky Shutter Button?

I'm not telling anyone to do this, but I did this to my t4i last week.  I took the battery and mem card out and put 3 drops of WD-40 (with a dropper) into the shutter button and worked it like crazy for awhile, then let it sit overnight.  The next morning I then did 2 treatments of the isopropyl alcohol, per the video.  And it seems like a new camera now.

Note:

When I said 3 drops I meant 3 drops (not 3 bursts from the WD-40 spray can).
