Most of the green info lights at the bottom of my T1i's viewfinder display are on all the time, a few of them just flash, but none are legible. I have called Canon and the repair estimate is $190 plus shipping... not worth it to me. Does anyone have experience with a self repair for this problem or know a cheaper way to go?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't got much experience with repairing DSLR's however given the situation I suggest you send it in for repairs. That said there are a few things you'll want to take into consideration such as: Your camera's shutter count, how long you've had this camera and whether your current skill set require you to purchase a later model camera.
