I repaired my 70-200 f4 twice with the same problem of being not able ot AF or even MF. Paid twice 350USD to Canon. For replacement of barrels, the same problems happened again and again. One year after 2nd repair, problem shown up again. Finally switch to 70-300L several years before switched to RF now. Honestly I think that is the only Canon lens I owned such unreliable.

Now after reading that you had the issue repeatedly I would definitely not pay for the repair, I guess the rumors I read about a fix were false. Also a coincidence, I traded the lens towards a Canon 70-300L.

This is depressing to say the least...
