Hey all, just purchased a 77D - works flawlessly. It was damaged by placing it on the ground. The eyepiece glass has some scratches on it, and the LCD glass has a crack. The actual LCD filament is perfectly fine. Crack is in the lower right corner (Maybe 50mm squared at most)

Just want to know where one can get these parts? I have done a few cellphone glass replacements in my time as well as on other finicky electronics. If I had to get it done by someone else - like canon, does anyone know the cost?

Much cheaper for me to do it - and I know I can do it due to my experience in electronics and whatnot. Just don't want to get some crap OEM stuff off alibaba though.

Both are not inhibiting my ability to shoot whatsoever, but I would like a decent piece of kit should I sell in the future.

*EDIT: Apologies for the Dezember spelling of glass in the title.
 
It if it's not impacting your shooting right now, why not wait to get it fixed before you sell so it's pristine?

Ebay is usually pretty fruitful when it comes to stuff like this.

Can you point me to any sellers that are decent for us in SA? Just so I have a baseline?
Thank you for your insight, Bwana - having a pro like you give your 2c means more than you know. I will take it!

I always get someone else to fix my mistakes but I'll ask around. The guy who used to repair my stuff moved to Europe but I'm sure he'll have some ideas.
