Disassembly of 5D/xxD - what LEDs are used in the top LCD?

Hmmm not sure. I think the 1 series buttons are built differently. I know what you mean though... I hate that halfway click on the xxD/xxxDs.

LOL. I do have pics! ...somewhere

But the 30D came from Clarence so he'll verify that it worked after I turned it inside out

Note that the sensor and shutter are removed (along with pretty much everything) and the rear of the mirror assembly is visible.

oooooh got a picture of the viewfinder mount piece? I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to widen it

I'm not quite sure what you mean, heres a link to all of the pictures of my camera being opened up: http://picasaweb.googl​e.com …jw-ekOE4k&feat=directlink

Back on topic, what color are you trying to change the LED's to?

You could get some color changing ones to really mess with people.

Why bother. There is a BIG chance of screwing up your camera, and even if you don't, it will be worth less (worthless?) if you try to sell it.

Hey If someone can put 5D2 LCD into my 1D3 I'd paid them good $$$!

Not sure it would be worth it since the in camera jpeg previews aren't going to be any higher resolution.

That's just not going to happen. You would need to swap out waaay more than just the screen, but it's fun to dream.

The LCD controller would definitely be different.

I just want to change the top LCD LED to a different colour other than orange...
and changing the black hotshoe to the one from the 1D Mark III, better weathersealing (but that's easy)

If you're going for better weathersealing I would check out the dial near the shutter button, when I opened the camera up I could see that the area around that dial is open for all the world to see.
