This is the typical kiss of death. the " err " in the viewfinder is the tell tail flag, when coupled with your actual symptoms. Its not worth the 300 dollars it could take to repair it. Provided they can get parts. I've had the exact scenario with two different cameras over the last 14 years. Both were fixed but at more than the camera was worth.

Sorry

This is absolutely correct. I had the same issue with one of my 5D's. If this were 10 years ago, Precision would get you back in action in no time. Nowadays, you could buy a fully-working used 5D/7D for less than a good steak dinner, assuming you want to replace your faulty one.

Sorry you got the "kiss of death" as Bill put it.

Just a Maxxum, an Alpha, and crossed fingers.
