Introdução

This is a necessary procedure for replacing the back latch of the Canon EOS Rebel XS 35mm camera. This guide details how to remove the back latch and put a back latch back on, whether it's the same back latch or a new one. The back latch covers and protects the film, among other things.

    • Using tweezers or your fingers, carefully remove the five gears and set them aside temporarily.

    • These gears can fall out easily while you’re working, so keeping them organized will help prevent loss.

    • Using an opening tool (you can also use your nails, but try not to use something potentially damaging to the camera such as metal), separate the top cover from the rest of the camera!

    Try to be gentle in removing the top cover. The transparent wheel underneath the mode dial knob can pop loose when the plastic axle's cap is already worn out.

    • Once the front, top, and bottom covers have all been removed, it's time to remove the back latch! Using a paperclip or something similar (anything that's very skinny), push on the end of the skinny, silver, metal rod that vertically travels through the camera. Do this until enough of the rod pops out on the other side for the next step.

    • With a pair of tweezers or just your fingers, pull the rod completely out of the camera. The back latch should then completely detach from the camera.

This would be fantastic if only you'd noted a place to obtain a replacement latch from.
