Re: Canon 450D - changing mode when the dial is broken

Most mode dials are integral with the entire top plate assembly (molded in, not screwed). I know you can buy replacement top plates (eBay, etc).  It's usually the center shaft that breaks.  Maybe you could Jerry-rig something.

Or perhaps the lower part of the dial (under the top plate) can be accessed and repaired. You'd have to search YouTube for a good disassembly video. Lots of teeny screws!

Best of luck to you!
