Canon EOS Rebel T3i Top Cover Replacement
Einleitung
Zu Schritt 1 der AnleitungUse this guide to replace the top cover on your Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
NOTE: On some variations of the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, the cables that connect the top cover to the DC PCB board are soldered on versus connected to it with a connector. If you are just removing the top cover to make other repairs, you can just keep those cables attached and carefully remove the top cover to get it out of the way. If you are replacing the top cover, you'd have to solder the cables (if they are soldered on).

Thanks for this guide, it was helpful. I edited it to add some details, I hope they help the next person.
My camera is also this model, but I found that there were some differences, and I'm wondering it I got a refurbished device for the price of a new one... For instance the top cable were soldered to the front of the camera, no plug in sight. I found more than 1 screw that had a different thread to the others.
All in all I managed to fix my issue which was with the viewfinder. The 550D guide for the viewfinder will work for this camera (I just used it and the viewfinder parts are exactly the same) Canon EOS Rebel T2i Eyepiece Replacement
There are some models of Canon Rebel cameras where the two cables which connect the top cover to the DC PCB board are soldered on instead of connected with connectors. This difference must also be found between different variations of the Canon Rebel T3i too.
As far as the screw threads go, most of the screws will be M1.7, but there will also be some places where they use M2.0 screws too. There may also be the occasional place where another thread type is used too, such as the hot shoe. It's definitely recommended to keep track of where exactly every single screw you take off goes to avoid putting any back in the wrong spot.

Good guide, only comment I have is there is a cover over the viewfinder that you need to remove initially, you just pull up on it and it pops off. If you look closely at the viewfinder on the camera in the pictures you will probably see that it does not have a cover around the viewfinder that your camera does. This needs to be removed before removing the back of the camera.
For me some bolt sizes were also different, i just labeled every bolt location with a piece of tape with a number written on it, and kept track of the bolts.
This briliant. I don't dare to unscrew my camera yet but if I do this will certainly help. I did do the back cover already but the top cover is serious business. Thanks a lot for the many photo's provided.
Excelent step-by-step! I managed to fix my camera's flash mechanism without buying any part.
By the way, that small plastic that looks a cable but it's not a cable is an optic fiber, that carries a small amount of the flash light to a sensor on the board.
