    Yes, you just have to unscrew the tripod mount and one screw on the flexboard Might sound stupid but i used nail polish remover from the 100 Yen store and this is the result: Video 🥳 I was confused by this too but it was just some piece of plastic stuck to the tape, not the coil itself...

    Canon T90: Cleaning the mirror magnet

    It happened! I was really scared of breaking the hard soldered wires between the board and the flexboard and had to use quite a bit of force to get the screwdriver in there but everything seems ok so far. In the slot like it belongs! Using "professional" tools to extract the magnet...

    Hi everyone, I am Nils, a uni student from Munich but am currently living in Osaka for an exchange year. That will unfortunately soon end though and I will return to Munich. I found this forum last weekend after I bought a broken Canon T90 in one of the many used camera stores here in Japan...

    I noticed the same, my main problem is that the screw is so tight that i dont get enough grip on my screwdriver. If i find a solution for that it should work hopefully full disassembly is not possible because i have never really used a soldering iron before and i doubt this is a good first...

    Managed to remove the bottom but am strugglinhh with the screw. I'm scared of bending the red circle part as well as the structure with the screw, it bends slightly backwards if I apply pressure on the screw. But thanks for the tips I'll manage it eventually hopefully! ------- Interlude...

    Canon T90: Cleaning the mirror magnet

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! I bought a "broken" T90 cheap in Japan 2 days ago. It shot 5 frames in the store when i put in batteries and then died with the "flashing cursor" problem. I bought it anyways and since then i have been on a hours long research spree and the magnet technique only got me...
