So I've formatted my card and I've copied the 1.1.1 firmware on to it to the root directory but when I inserted the card back in the camera my screen turns blank again and the red blinking light shows up. Without the card I can access pretty much all the menu settings but with a card even a clean one with anything on it the screen won't come up

[UPDATE]

That's good to know. This forum is cool I've just now joined and I've already gotten a reply. Sweet

UPDATE

So I've switched my camera off then took out the battery and the card . Then put back the battery without the card and switched it on. Screen comes up horray! now I've gone and put my card into my Mac and formatted it clean. Brand new 64gb sd card now before I put it back in I checked the menu settings on my 500d. The firmware says it's 1.1.2, not happy but wtv. I put the new sd card back in and the same problem arises :/ well shit...

I just realized my previous post was submitted and I submitted a more lengthy and longer post  sorry I really thought my previous post wasn't submitted  . Teehee

[HELP!]

HELP!

Okay so I messed up big time, I bought a new 500d like a month ago from a second hand guy it works flawlessly and it was in its 1.0.9 canon firmware. Then going through the Internet I found out that the 500d does not record video on manual mode. But my dumbass bought a dslr to shoot films and now I can't, I tried many things to control the iso, aperture, and shutter speed with the lighting and also tweaking the kit lens to keep the aperture at a fixed setting. So that's when I found out about magic lantern. I spent about a week researching about magic lantern so I thought "hey okay let's do this". ( this is when my dumbass starts to think) so before installing the magic lantern software I read on the magic lantern website I needed to upgrade into the 1.1.1 canon firmware 500d so aight I get on the canon website but the link for the 1.1.1 firmware isn't there only... The 1.1.2 firmware.... Now... This is where I made the mistake of installing this software and putting in on my canon... Everything went smoothly, my canon was upgraded to the 1.1.2 firmware

Now on the back of my mind I still have that lingering thought "yo don't you need to make sure everything goes according to the website?" BUT my dumbass just goes nah fuck it just download magic lantern and put it on the sd card then boom bam format, copy paste and then put it in the camera.... Once I did it I went to the third wrench option and I updated the firmware... silence... The screen popped up... The dial was on... I forgot what it was on... And then... Blank screen, no lights on the screen just nothing I panicked , switched off the camera took out the battery, charged it to max, put it back on but this time the mode was on P it was lit but again the screen went blank... The camera is switched on but no screen and the only thing that shows any indication of light is the red light Indicator on the bottom right side of the camera which goes on and off every 3 seconds... And here I am a man and a damaged camera losing hope but the fact that that red light is still blinking shows me a little hope. I hope you enjoyed that read because I enjoyed writing it. But still this is a real problem that I'm having and I'm in DIRE NEED OF A SOLUTION ASAP

TLDR; bought 2nd hand 500d but found out could not record video manually, magic lantern seemed like a good alternative but I installed ML on my 500d with a 1.1.2 firmware not the 1.1.1 firmware and now the screen doesn't show when I switch it on. Please if there's any suggestion on how I could fix it or turn back to normal it would help me greatly
