Hello, I was going to use my 60Da tonight and I noticed that when I turned it on the card reader LED kept flashing for several seconds, yet the camera wouldn't do anything. Thinking it was a battery or door issue, I tried different things to get the camera to boot. Now the camera will not respond or flash any LEDs.
Why do I think this could be a ML issue? If I put in my 6D SD card into the 60Da, the card reader LED flashes and the display shows a ML model detection error. So the camera is able to read the SD and determine it has the wrong build of ML on it.
Any advice would be appreciated :)
I used a new SD card, formatted with EOSCard, and was able to run the LED Blink Test successfully.
I was able to run the ROM dumper:

Not sure what else would be of use, please let me know.
Take your 6D card, rename ML directory to ML.6D, autoexec.bin to autoexec.bin.6D and (optional) ML-SETUP.FIR to ML-SETUP.FIR.6D. Copy extracted 60D nightly build files to card and retry. Don't forget to remove battery if cam get stuck and retry after! If it doesn't work: Take a spare card (32 GB or less recommended), format using your PC, insert into cam, format again, insert into PC, copy Canon's firmware to card (linked in 60D nightly build page -> Installation) and reinstall Canon firmware. Retry with your "6D" card. Report back.
Walter, thanks for the reply. I tried all of your suggestions, unfortunately none of them worked. With the 6D card, when the camera turns on I get a single card LED flash, whereas anything on the spare card gives nothing. It is interesting (and tantalizing) that I get the Model detection error screen with the 6D card, and absolutely nothing beyond Card LED flashing at most otherwise.
Alright, so the hardware appears to be alive. You might be able to get some diagnostic logs with one of these builds:
https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Experiments/job/startup-log/
https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Experiments/job/startup-log-mpu/
If they don't work, send me - privately - a copy of your ROM. I might be able to reproduce the error in QEMU and figure it out from there.
Alex,
I tried startup-log, the LED never stopped blinking and no log was found on the card. No obvious log for the startup-log-mpu. Will pm the ROM.
I ended up replacing the motherboard to fix the camera. Thanks everyone.
