Hey all, so I had issues uninstalling magic lantern because somehow the ml5d123.fir file went missing off my card (magic lantern still worked with no issues) so when I went to disable boot flag it told me I needed firmware on card.

I went to the latest nightly build and copied the files over and now when I turn my camera on I get blinking red lights. I've fucked it all up and I just want it uninstalled... sigh.

I had no issues with ML until trying to uninstall. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

You say batteries, are you using a 2-battery grip? If so, try just one battery without grip and with battery door back on (then another one in case chip in one is bad or something).

I originally was using a grip (Canon made) and since it turned off I've taken the grip off to try and trouble shoot.

I say batteries because I own 6 batteries. None of them have issues in my 5d Mark III which I also have Magic Lantern on.

So assuming all I had to do was replace autoexec file on cf card and stick  it back in, there is absolutely nothing.


It can't be the batteries as all batteries are fully recharged and I just replaced the clock battery... unless I did that wrong but I don't think I did.



Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply alex, I will give it a try.

I actually won't have the card that I installed Magic Lantern on till tomorrow as I used it for a file transfer. Am I able to install ML on another card then run blink test?

Hi guys,

Hoping for a little help to see if I can selvedge my 5D Mark II as so far I've had no luck getting it to turn on.

So far I've removed all batteries, including clock (and replaced) and reinserted and gotten nothing.

I've tried
Switch camera Off, remove: battery, card and lens.
Reattach lens, close card slot, reinsert battery and switch camera On again

and nothing.

I've tried formating card and different cards and nothing.

I had magic lantern working with no issues for more than 6 months and then 1 day before a vacation it wouldn't turn on.

It shows absolutely no signs of life, no blinking lights, no nothing..... just dead.

Any helps or suggestions is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
