I posted this link to a "Can't read SD card problem" below. On most SLTmodels apparently the SD card reader is part of the main circuit, and my local repair shop wanted $160 for labor (!) to swap out the part:
does anyone know if replacing the motherboard would fix a fried aperture lever control motor?
My camera will not read SD cards and intermittent struggles with lens connections. I sent it out for repair and the response was as follows: “AM main board would need to be replaced and is no longer available.” Is the AM main board another name for the Mother Board?
Does any know can i buy the flex cable for view finder button?
Thank you for all these Fixit helps. I am missing the replacement of the shutter motor. This is the most important repair in my eyes.
