I picked up a second EOS M at a good price considering it had the dreaded Err 70 message. Also, some of the buttons are not working on it: Up, Right, Set, Turn Wheel Left or Right. Lucky for me, the touch screen is working so I can at least navigate using it.
However, upon exiting the Canon menu, the err 70 message is displayed. Removing the battery trick does not work and upon turning the camera on, I am greeted with the set the Date option. After setting it, the error message comes up again. If I by-pass the Date option and set the date when navigating in the menu and turn the camera off and on, err 70 comes up right away. It is not until I remove the battery, that it asks to set the date again upon turning the camera back on. Not sure if that is of any help, but it does not hold the date settings in memory when battery is removed.
Searching for the err 70 has become a daily routine and I have already tried a few things. Luckily, the camera still allowed me to install ML via the firmware option and it also had fw 2.0.2. I loaded up the latest nightly of the M and one of Danne's build that I also had on my other M to test things. Sadly, I did not get any further than before and err 70 is still there.
I then used the Diagnostic tools to run a few tests and logs:
1. Picture after using the portable display test.
2. I saw it blink only once, so I hope that means it passed the LED blink test.
3. Here is a link to the ROM*.bin files [removed]
4. After running the Startup-log-mpu, a DM-0000.LOG was generated.

5. Here is another log file. 3 errors were found at lines 777,778 and 908, but do not know what to do with them.

At some point during testing of what works and what does not, I must have cleared the Canon settings and defaulted to the CA photo mode. Now, I no longer have the extra menu options listed along with the update firmware options. No matter if I boot in Video mode, I am still locked out. The good thing is that the bootflag is still set and I can at least use cards from my other M running ML.
Other things tried:
- Start camera with & without card
- Start camera with & without lens
- Start camera with manual lens
If someone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
