Canon EOS 60D Rear LCD screen protective plastic cover Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

30 minutes

Introduction

The rear LCD screen's plastic cover provides protection for the sensitive LCD screen beneath it. If the cover is scratched or damaged, it would obstruct the display of the screen. The replacement of the plastic cover should be handled with care in order to avoid damaging the plastic frame which holds it.

Tools

Step 1

Take the LCD out of its place to expose the Phillips #PH00 screws.
Remove the two 2.5 mm Phillips #PH00 black screws on both sides of the LCD screen.
Next remove the two 3 mm Phillips #PH00 black screws near both sides of the base where the screen swivels.

The screws (in orange) near the swivel base are shorter, 2.5mm. Also do not remove the screws (in red) on either side of the screen, it is unnecessary for removing the rear cover. See my comment on the next step.

The first 4 steps aren’t necessary

Step 2

Using a plastic opening tool, carefully pry off the back cover of the LCD.

Absolutely unnecessary for removing the rear cover. Instead, remove the small plastic piece at the swivel base that was held by two 2.5mm screws (see previous step) and continue with the guide.

Step 3

Remove the 3 mm Phillips #PH00 silver screw on the side of the screen.
Turn the screen to remove the second 3 mm Phillips #PH00 silver screw.

Step 4

Using the tweezers, carefully disconnect the rear connector by pulling it away from the screen.

Step 5

Remove the two 2.5 mm Phillips #PH00 silver screws using the PH00 screwdriver.
Using the plastic Spudger opening tool, carefully lift up on the medal tabs next to where the screws were located.

Step 6

Finally, remove the LCD screen by grabbing the clear plastic tab and lifting it carefully.

Step 7

Slowly insert the tip of the Jimmy between the damaged plastic cover and the plastic frame, which holds it, to loosen the connection between them.
The Jimmy is sharp, so take special care when using it to avoid damaging the plastic frame or causing personal injury.

Step 8

Carefully slide the Jimmy through all corners of the plastic frame until it is detached from the plastic cover.

Step 9

Using your hand, lift the detached plastic cover off the plastic frame.
To place a new plastic cover, simply stick it to the frame in the appropriate position.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I followed all the steps and was able to dis- and reassamble everything in under 30min. When you reassamble make sure that in step 4 the metalplate of the housing is turned correctly and the connector is in the right position. Both could be turned 180° and mounted incorrectly. Other than that easy repair.

Thanks guys
