Crap!!! Is coordination really that important?

Wow! Thanks to my lack of coordination, I get to replace the lcd screen cover on my new 5DII. Dang - I had a 30D and 40D for years - but no such accidents then!

OKay - does anyone know the best way to replace the screen? And can I order the parts or do I have to send it in?

Thanks in advance for your help, and I ope none of you ever have to deal with this.

it's a $7 part that i think you can even buy from b&h and install yourself.

I recently replaced the one on my T1i, and it is a piece of cake. Here is a paste from the email I received asking about how to order the replacement:

Make sure to order the double sided tape to go with it! My cost with shipping was just under $25 and I had in in 3 or 4 days. Everyones says that a suction cup will pop the old one right off, but I didn't get to try that, mine was shattered.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help guys! PMan67 - that info is exactly what I needed.
I appreciate your help!

NP, I figured that was good info to save since I just did the same thing. I'd be curious to see if the higher models have higher prices on the screen even though they are mostly the same size now.

I'll let you know when I get a hold of Canon.
Hopefully it won't be too much more!

Update for those looking for replacement screens - ordered one today from Canon for my 50D, about $27 with the screen and double-sided tape, including tax and shipping. About $8 less than the same parts from USCamera. Thanks for the contact info Phil!
