Ok, as soon as I get the camera back I will try.

Although I just read another post where someone has done the exact thing I did and didn't get it working which doesn't fill me with much hope 

Thanks for your help Alex I will report back once my camera is returned.

I don't think either of those ways. I had ML installed ages ago. As far as I remember I had a .FIR file on the CF card and everytime I booted the camera I had to load that file to get ML settings. Once I formatted card I no longer had any ML features. This was a very early version of ML for Canon 7D and I had recently just been using Canon official firmware.

Sorry, it was updating using firmware (.FIR file) from the CF card. I previously had ML setup that I needed to load from CF card each time I powered up camera but was not using ML for a while before this problem occured.

I will attempt to make a bootable card and try turn on my camera using that. I am on mac btw so may need different software.

I was just running ML from the card. But at the time of the update no ML was installed. This was an original canon to canon upgrade. Did not even get the chance to install ML

Sorry I should have explained that it didn't have ML installed at the time of the power failure. I was updating between 2 genuine canon updates. I now can not do anything with the camera. I have not tried booting camera up using firmware direct from a card. Should I try and do that?

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated.

How do I check if boot flag is enabled? The camera literally does nothing when switched on.

Cheers

Hi all,

So I have done the stupidest thing with my camera. Was updating the canon firmware on it when the battery slipped out mid update and now it won't turn on. Sent to Canon and they have quoted me almost $900 to repair it. Totally can't afford that right now so having the camera shipped back to me. (A $100 round trip that went nowhere). So my question is, do I have any options in regards to just "reflashing" the PCB so it has a version of firmware back on it? Canon want to replace the entire Main PCB. Surely it hasn't fried anything and its simply a case of the camera not having any firmware on it currently to turn on?

If someone can help me out I'll be super appreciative.

Thanks

Sorry mate,

Just reinstalled everything and seems to be fine now. Can't seem to get it to do the same thing now so feel free to delete this topic and if I can get it to happen again I'll film it and repost.

Hey guys,

I have just put ML on my 7D and all seemed to be working until I hit record in movie mode. While recording the camera flashed back and forth between the normal video mode and the ML menu. When I hit stop it just kept jumping between menus and I had to turn it off to get it to stop.

Everything was done correctly so not too sure where to go from here.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers
