I have gained enough experience in my recent projects to be able to offer a tutorial on standard service for the Canon T90 here on PHOTRIO.

The work I recommend for every T90 (depending on the available equipment) is:
  • cleaning the exterior,
  • cleaning the contacts of the command wheel,
  • cleaning the inside of the eyepiece,
  • removing, disassembling, and cleaning the Copal S shutter (sticky damper); advantages and disadvantages shortcut
  • adjusting the curtain travel times and the 1/4000 second, as well as the exposure metering (camera tester required),
  • avoiding the infamous EEE error during assembly,
  • removing and cleaning the battery compartment of battery electrolyte/resolving battery contact problems,
  • tips on soldering and special features during disassembly/assembly,
  • cleaning the release magnet (infamous blinking arrow on the LCD) and the shutter magnets (EEE error),
  • replacing the memory battery,
  • checking the DC/DC converter,
  • troubleshooting/available technical instructions,
  • other
Information about this can be found in my current posts about the T90 but perhaps there is a need for a detailed step-by-step tutorial.

As always:
