G'mornin' all. Yesterday I looked in my view finder and saw that the numbers to the far left were obstructed or something. Anyone encounter this before?

Guess it would be hard to look into the VF and shine a small light in there at the same time...

So there has to be something in there. I just can't see anything! Nikon D600

The glass covering the liquid is separating. At certain angles, the LCD can still be seen. It get worse, but slowly. I'd check with Canon Service for replacement costs, but probably continue using it until it becomes unusable, before sending in for repair.

I've seen 1 bar failure, but not this many. 40D 70-200 f/4LIS

Everything looks perfectly fine. So I guess it has to be the LCD. This really bums me out. The camera is in brand new condition and I was hoping to sell it for a decent amount eventually to fund something newer. It only has approx 11000 clicks! Have a copy of the Parts Catalog? I looked through it & couldn't identify the part, but you should have no problem, having seen the part inside the camera.

I'd ask Canon Service how much is the part...
