Canon EOS 5D Mark II replace the LCD screen cover window with a new one

An easier way is to superglue a piece of wood to the surface of the damaged screen, heat up the edges of the screen with a hairdryer and just pull it off using the piece of wood. Takes 5 minutes and no disassembly of the camera required.

how do you get the battery door off? I've scoured the internet. mine doesn't seem to come off. has a screw on it too

[@CamerasLensesEtc]

You have to push the small screw which is in the axis, then the end of the axis retracts, then you can remove the door.

Very helpful video since I didn't want to try using a hairdryer and then prying the broken cover off, causing damage to my camera body. However, I wish you could have played a little bit more down to those of us that don't normally open up our electronics, and who don't understand the basic idea of how to disconnect and reconnect ribbon cables. I didn't realize that there was a little lever at the connector that you open to release the cable and snap shut to hold the cable in place. I'm afraid that I ruined one, if not all 4 ribbon cables because I didn't understand that. But, my new LCD cover looks great. Too bad the camera is dead!

Connect the flat cables, then put a small adhesive tape on the top covering the cable and the connector. That hold them togeter.
