How can I get repair parts for my eos elan 7 Canon film door?

The back door where the film is inserted will not lock shut because the latch is broke. Can I replace this?

Remove front cover to get to latch. Be careful not to touch the flash circuit as it can have a nasty 300 volt shock.

Canon parts phone number: 732-521-7230. They used to take credit cards, not sure if they still do. They are really good about ordering by description.

There is one more screw hidden under the pressure plate, push it down and slide it towards the hinge to remove it. Welcome to the secret society! MF

SOURCE: how to replace the door latch on a canon rebel eos ti

The cameras film door has a very small phillips head screw inside the battery doors hinge. Its a pain to take out & replace if you hands are shakey for this screw is so small. Also installing the replacement hinge would be a little harder to install tha removing the broken one.
I hope this information will help you. A camera shop should be able to do it for free if you maybe purchase some items there. Most shops which are very small and privately owned shops will do this for you

SOURCE: I have got an EOS Elan II E Film Camera (Cannon).

Hi, all canon EOS digital cameras can take all EF lenses. An EF lens from 1989 will fit a Digital body from 2009.
The newer EF-S lenses will only work with the smaller APS-C size sensors on the cheaper consumer bodies.
Hope this answers your query, please take the time to rate!

SOURCE: Film door latch is loose

Same advice I made to another post. At some point you got to make a decision. There is a lot of plastic pieces that can break. Canon doesn't support the T series from what I've read. You may consider getting another one. You also have to consider that the fix may not work. Then what do you do?

The camera back button requires power to operate and as the electronics seem to be fried button pushing doesn't open the door. So is there a manual access way? thanks

I had a Canon Elan IIe and I don't recall having to have electronics to open the camera back.
Make sure you have a battery in it, turn it on look at the LCD panel and see if it has film in it.
If so you should be able to push the "mid roll" film rewind button located on the back left side it shows a film canister icon. Once the film has rewound into the canister release the back with the mechanical latch found on the left side (while facing the back of the camera) just push it down and the back will pop open. Those cameras are pretty darn good and the only thing I've seen friy the electronics is using an "old" type flash on the hot shoe and that takes the flash circuit board and melts the thing. I'd expect the camera battery is dead and you can't rewind the film back into the canister.

The film door on the back of my camera broke tonight, a very small piece of plastic came off and promptly fell into the grass. Even if I hold the door shut there is no connection. What do I need to have...

Hello. Repairing the door latch shouldn't be that much of a headache. Definitely send the camera in to a reputable facility. Don't send it in through a retail store! (They tack on needless charges and add it to the bill *you* see.) Check with CanonUsa if you can't find a good repair shop. Below is the address I got when checking with Canon Support. Hope I helped you!---Rick

Broken latch on hinged back

Try calling Canon's parts department at 1-732-521-7230 and see if they still have the part in stock. The part number is CF1-3129-000 and should cost less that $2.00 I think.
