Hello all! My first time posting here. Sad that it had to be for this reason. I've searched around and couldn't find a solution to this exact issue. Someone mentioned having this problem in passing, but couldn't remember their solution. First off I've had my 7D Mk1 for about 10 months. I bought it used with only about 5k clicks on it. Right now the shutter count is 21k. I've been using ML on it for about 9 months with no problems whatsoever.

I was out shooting some RAW clips of wildlife in my area 2 days ago and after recording a few clips, these black vertical lines appear in live view. I decided to restart the camera, and the problem was solved. I didn't think much of it. The following day I went out to get some more raw video and discovered I had left the camera on overnight in my bag. Didn't think it would be a problem as I had it on auto power off after 2 minutes. But the battery was dead. Popped in a second battery and the dreaded black vertical lines are back, and they would not go away. These lines are evenly spaced throughout the entire image, with 7 pixels between them.

Here is a list of things I have tried so far:
- Inserting different CF cards, one with ML another without
- Resetting ML settings
- Uninstalling ML
- Reinstalling ML
- Clearing all camera settings and custom functions
- Removing camera battery and clock battery, letting it sit overnight

None of these things have made a difference. Is there anything else I can try?
I'm not really sure where to upload these images to so I've just placed them on google drive. If there is a better place to host these images, please let me know.
