Is your Canon EOS 6D’s rear LCD screen cracked or damaged? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of replacing the rear LCD screen on your Canon EOS 6D. This repair is a bit more involved, but with the right tools and a bit of patience, you should be able to complete it successfully.

Step 1: Remove the Viewfinder Cover

Start by removing the viewfinder cover by pinching the sides and sliding it upward. This will give you access to the screws that hold the rear panel in place.

Step 2: Open the Battery Door

Next, open the battery door on the bottom of the camera. Use your thumb to slide the small black tab on the inside of the battery door up and pull the door off the camera.

Step 3: Remove the Rubber Covering

Slide your fingernail or the flat end of the spudger underneath the rubber covering and gently peel it off all sides of the camera. This will give you access to the screws that hold the rear panel in place.

Step 4: Remove the HDMI/AV/MIC Port Covers

Open the covers to the HDMI/AV/MIC ports on the side of the camera by gently pulling outward on the bottom of the covers. Rotate the covers to the side so that you can see the connection ports inside.

Step 5: Remove the Screws

Remove the following screws:

• Two silver 5mm Phillips #00
• One black 6mm Phillips #00

These screws hold the rear panel in place. Be careful not to strip the screws.

Step 6: Remove the Rear Panel

Carefully use your fingers to tilt the back panel downward to about a 90-degree angle. Use the flat end of the spudger to gently pry off the ribbon wire from the inside of the camera.

Step 7: Disconnect the Ribbon Wires

Detach the two light brown ribbon wires from the back of the LCD screen by firmly gripping each with tweezers and gently pulling straight to the left.

Step 8: Remove the LCD Screen

Remove three 3mm Phillips #00 screws from the inside of the panel. Carefully peel the black tape off the upper edge of the screen (not shown). Remove the screen by using the flat edge of the spudger to carefully lift the screen assembly off its silver aligning pins.
