Micro-switch stuck down, 50D

J.G.McClain

All,

The Micro-switch on the hot-shoe on my 50D is stuck down, I can use a tooth pick and pull it back up when I need to use the internal flash (Very rarely)

But I would rather repair, replace the plate that includes the switch level.

Anyone know of a parts list for the 50D and where I might be able to buy that plate?

If you are sure that you want to take the risk, you might check the following page to see if the hot-shoe micro-switch plunger is the problem:

Yea, saw that, I'm sure I'm not going to stick any piece of a paperclip into my camera.

Guess it time to call D&H, then off to Cannon it goes...
