I think I did a huge amateur mistake and now my camera is dead. Sorry for my ignorance but I need help!!!
Almost one year ago after installing correctly ML on my 7D and used it for a while with no problems I wanted to uninstall it for selling it, and now everything went wrong, the camera is totally dead.
First of all I tried my other memory cards with no ML, and the camera also didn't started up with the original firmware. Before installing ML the camera turned on even with no memory cards, but after ML installed that stoped happening.
So I started to uninstall ML. The only way my camera started was with the AUTOEXEC.bin file and the "ML" folder in the memory card. Without those files the camera was dead. No blinking light - totally dead.
So to my freshly formatted card, I dragged again the autoexec.bin and ml folder to the MC, and the camera started up normally.
Following the official ML page uninstalling instructions I accessed to main menu, and clicked on the Update Camara Firmware.
A message appeared telling that update couldn't be made without a firmware file inside the MC.
So I used the firmware 2.0.6 that was the one available in canon.com. I dragged the firmware file to the MC and now yes, by following the instructions, the update started and was installed. Everything looked fine.
A message showed "Firmware updated correctly" after 100% installation.
After that, the camera died and never turned on again.
I did put again the files autoexec.bin and ML folder to see if with that it would help, and nothing...
After doing all this I remembered, that ML only worked with a lower firmware than 2.0.6, i think it was 2.0.3....
So I think this was the mistake and what makes my camera dead, or maybe other reason that you can help me get to know about! Please if anyone can help me I would be so grateful! Im really new on this and need any idea to get my camera back.... If its not too late...
Thank you!
