Canon 700D bricked

[Callumpi]

Hello

I just installed the Magic Lantern on my 700D and I deleted the Autoexec and Ml-setup files cause I thought the only file should be in the SD was the ML file.

Now my camera don't turn on, I tried to format the SD in the PC but it still doesn't work. What can I do?

Remove battery, remove card. Format card using cardreader.
Insert battery. Startup cam.
Q: Does it work?
A: Yes -> Shutdown cam, insert card, startup cam. Report back.
     No -> Report back.

How did you format the SD on your PC? It should have removed the card bootflag.

Obviously that autoexec.bin file you deleted was necessary. If it is no longer on your computer, re-download what ever version you are using and put that autoexec.bin file back on your card.

BTW--if you want to uninstall ML run the installer (firmware update) again and wait a minute for it to timeout. This will remove the bootflag from both your camera and card. Both bootflags are needed to run ML. If both bootflags are set and there's no autoexec.bin file on your card, well you now know what happens.

You may want to edit your subject to add [RESOLVED] to it. People get scared when they see "bricked" in the subject. Your camera is most likely not bricked. Just start the camera without the card to check it.
