Hi everyone... recently I was biking to a shoot when some seal on my camelbak water bottle failed. it exploded all over my bag, which unfortunately also contained my original digital rebel (in a separate bag and area) but still some of the sprite in the water bottle got on/in my camera. i've just finished dis- and re-assembling the back, and I was able to clean most of the stuff out. i got to the camera in time to where i THINK it didn't hit any vital components. but after re-assembling the body, i'm noticing vertical streaks on the LCD that certainly resemble some sort of liquid residue. luckily, it IS on the LCD and not the lens, as I've confirmed by taking photos with the camera.

i can obviously live with this problem, but i'm worried about future issues. can anyone point me to a way to remove and thoroughly clean the LCD?

The LCD cover glass can be removed by a suitable suction cup. But as far as I know, you need a new one then, as the original can't be glued back in the correct position. You need a new adhesive for that.

My Rebel XSi had condensation form from a rainy day in Florida that caused the same streaks within the LCD. It dried out over a period of one week and looks good as new. Yours might act differently with the substance being Sprite.

I've never had one off, but I have the impression that the cover is attached with double-sided tape. If so, it may be reusable or at least replaceable.

Yes, I've seen the instructions, although I've never done it myself either. A new cover glass has the sticky tape in place. Remove the cover strips and press it into position. I got the impression that you can't remove the glass without ruining the tape.

I don't know what camera you have but starting at post #17 is my detailed instructions on how to remove the entire back cover on my 20D to clean under it.
