Re: Canon eos-m. I cleaned sensor. Camera died

I had a similar experience with a M6 converted to infrared.  Lifepixel did the conversion, which also disables the sensor clean capability.  Lifepixel forgot to tell me not to re-enable the sensor clean option in settings.  After receiving the converted camera, I reviewed the settings and ignorantly turned the sensor clean option back on.

I contacted Lifepixel and after some discussion they told me to try turning the camera on and immediately hit the menu button.  They also said it may require repeating the process several (or numerous) times to get the menu to display.  Once displayed, turn the sensor clean option back off.  In my case it took about a dozen tries to get the menu to display.

I know this is not the identical situation, but it might be worth a try!
