Let's first start by saying that I don't believe Magic Lantern has anything to do with this error. However, Magic Lantern is installed and functioning, and produces log-files, so I was wondering if there's something in there that might be of help to me.
I've got a 5D mk II that suddenly shows the dreaded Err 20 (mechanical error). When I start the camera there's four "thumping" sounds coming from roughly somewhere around the shutter. It will then beep, show the Err 20 on the LCD display, and Magic Lantern will produce a log file. If I start the camera in the [CA] mode, I get a display on the LCD, but there's no way to fire the shutter. If I leave it at [CA]-mode, it will produce the thumping sound roughly every 10 seconds. I can also trigger the thumping sound by pressing the shutter button, either on the camera or on the battery grip.
I've skimmed through the log-files, but I can't find anything related to ASSERT ERROR or something like that. Is there anything I could look for in the log files that might give me a clue as to what the error could be?
The camera's shutter has been through roughly 150k actuations, so it might simply be end-of-life for this one. However, I would think that I should get the Err 30 rather than the Err 20 for that one.
Any suggestiong would be welcome.
I've tried:
Different batteries
With/without battery grip
Different CF cards
Changing the date battery
Leaving it, etc.
