just picked up a T1i for dirt cheap! now to fix up the condition.
looks like the SD card door area is melted?? =\
and it's pretty difficult to open. so i'm thinking of taking the card door off and sanding it down a bit? or mb just pay $20 for a brand new card door.

on the inside of SD card door there's some burn marks. anyone know what that could be from??

any tips on how or where i can get this fixed would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks!!

Looks like they used a cheap knockoff battery or something.

Take the door off and just buy a grip for it, and buy some eneloop rechargeable batteries, or any AA rechargeable batteries and be happy :D I'm assuming it works but it's just cosmetic?

I just got a grip for my t2i, feels so beefy and manly now

SD Card slot. Not battery door.

If the pins on the door aren't spring loaded you may need to take it apart.
