    • Peel off the rubber grip on the back by grasping one of the corners and pulling it away from the camera body.

    • Once removed, a hidden screw is revealed.

    • Remove both screws from the rear of the camera.

    • When lifting the panel, make sure not to lift it too high, since you'll run the risk of tearing the cable, or damaging the connector on the board.

    • Flip the lock on the flex cable connector up with a spudger.

    • The front panel should pop off, now that the cable has been disconnected.

    • When reassembling the device, make sure to insert the left side of the front panel first, since it has a small lip that needs to fit under the left part of the camera case.

    • Disconnect all the indicated connectors by opening their latches.

    • Remove the flex cable that connects the logic board to the secondary control board.

    • Pull the small green connector out of its socket. Be careful when removing it, as it is possible to tear the tiny wires running into the connector.

    • Disconnect the two hidden connectors under the top connector indicated in pink.

    • Disconnect the third hidden connector.

    • Remove the two last screws attaching the top of the CF slot.

    • Remove the CF slot.

    • This is one of several issues with this CF connector. This pin is severely bent.

    • When the pin is bent this badly, it's very likely that it will snap when you try to rebend it. There's no harm in attempting to carefully bend it back though.

    • I was able to relatively easily replace the pin that snapped with a section of solid-core wire from an ethernet cable.

    • The pin I replaced here is supposed to be longer than its neighbors. This is one of the extended pins on the connector.

    • Working on the next steps will be much easier if you remove the metal shield that is attached to the CF slot by clips. I forgot to include this in the guide photos.

    • Some pins had gotten pushed in far enough that they ripped up traces, so it was necessary to reroute their connections from the bottom vias.

    • To be able to solder to the vias, you have to scratch the solder mask off of them with a sharp tool like an Xacto knife.

    • Then it can finally be soldered to with a high gauge wire. I took a section of larger stranded-core wire, cut it, and unwound it.

    • Taping the connector down to your work surface makes it easier to work on the small solder joints required here.

    • This is one of the cases in which I was able to reuse a pin that was broken internally but not externally, simply by pushing it back into place and running a wire from the piece left inside.

    • When soldering to the vias, note that from the rear (the area where all the pin connections are soldered to), the two pin connections on the far right and far left are ground, and don't connect down to these vias.

    • Make sure not to leave large lumps of protruding solder like the one here. I ended up having to slim it down, since it touched the metal housing of the connector when I put it back together.

    • Hopefully when you reassemble your EOS 20D, you won't be getting the "Err CF" message anymore.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow the disassembly instructions in reverse order.

Hi!

What exactly is your problem? It sounds like you’re saying that the pin is broken. What does “the line is almost completely removed” exactly mean though? If it’s a broken trace on the top side, don’t worry, you can run wires from the vias on the opposite side to fix that.

really good job, thank you
