Hello!
THANKS for all the answers! I've risked setting the ML Bootflag again ... I will try the LED Blink test when nothing works again ...

Before reenabling the bootflag, I found out something interesting: The LED blinked only on certain events (Card open/close; remove/attach lens) when the battery-door was open, not when it was closed.

THANKS in advance! I will wait some time, try again and probably send the camera to Canon for repair ... if that isn't to expensive ...

Hello!
I have an 600D which worked perfectly with ML for 4 years, since Wednesday (I did nothing). It didn't start.
I don't remember if the on/off-switch was initially on or off (wasn't used for some days). Pushing buttons, switching on/off switch or switching the picture-mode, didn't help. Open Battery Door/SD-Card Slot didn't get the LED to flash like usually. Using another (working) 3rd party battery didn't help eighter. Yesterday, I got it working after ~2 minutes and the camera worked for the whole afternoon.

Today, it didn't work again. I tried a lot while removing the SD-Card to except any possible ML-errors. After a while, it worked. I don't know what I did. I inserted the SD-Card and it didn't start again. Then it started again. After that, it started all the time. I removed the ML-Flag successfully.

I tried to flash the plain 1.0.2 to the camera again and it stuck on "LOADING" for two hours (then I removed the battery). Then I tried to flash 1.0.3, the same freeze again ... It starts without problems and shows 1.0.2.

Do you have any ideas why the camera doesn't work? Old Caps? I personally think that the flashing-issue is seperate from the other one ... But I'm not sure ...

Thanks in advance for any idea!!!

Hello,
I think: Why should I buy this, when I maybe can also do this for free with magic laterns? I'm a teenager and I don't have much money.

Hello,
Thank you for answering! I'm using the 600D(=T3i).

There are two differtent opinnions about the shutter count, but there's also another thing, why I like to have this feature in the future:
I like filming animals in wildlife and I think, when I open the mirror, they will run away. When I open the mirror a lot of time before I start filming, the sensor will overheat.

Hello,
Please excuse my bad english.
I think it would be great to add a feture to stop movies automaticly after for example 15 Secounds. The movies will be started through a photo sensor through the 2,5mm input (or the PC/2 simmelar input for the more professional DSLRs).

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english and for my bad knowledge about filmographie.
I think it would be great to only close the mirror on clicking on Liveview (to reduce the shutter count, especially for Timelapses), but the curtain should be closed (to not overheat the sensor). It would be great to also not close the mirror on changing Modis.
