"Note:" This troubleshooting guide covers only the Canon EOS Rebel T1i . Other Canon Camera models will be covered in separate troubleshooting guides.
Broken/Cracked LCD Screen
My camera has a broken or cracked screen.
Dropped Camera
If your LCD screen is cracked or broken, you will probably need to replace the entire camera's screen. Visit the repacement guide on Canon EOS Rebel T1i Front Screen Replacement .
My Camera Won't Turn On
I can't get my EOS Rebel T1i to turn on.
Drained Battery
If your camera won't turn on, the battery might need to be charged. Try to charge your battery before you tear down your device. For instructions on how to recharge your battery, check the camera's manual: http://www.fhs.cuni.cz/ohsd/stranka/doku...
Bad Battery
If you tried to recharge your battery and your camera still won't turn on, it is possible that the battery is not recharging anymore and you will need to get a new one. Visit the replacement guide on Canon EOS Rebel T1i Battery Replacement
My Flash is Not Working
I can shoot pictures, but my flash is not working.
Switch on Flash Mode
Sometimes when you set the camera to auto mode, the flash will not work because the camera assumes there is enough light in the room that the flash is not needed. Try switching on the flash mode. For instructions, visit http://www.fhs.cuni.cz/ohsd/stranka/doku... .
Dirty/Broken Flash Spring
When the flash is on, a spring activates the flash compartment, which makes it pop up. If the spring is dirty or broken, you can take three actions: (1) GENTLY try to open the flash compartment when shooting a picture; (2) Clean the area of the spring: (3) Replace the spring.
All My Pictures Are Turning out Blurry
Whenever I take a picture, they all come out blurry.
Low Shutter Speed
Your shutter speed may be too low. Try switching the camera to a setting with faster shutter speed, like the “sports” shooting setting, or manually increasing the shutter speed. Also, if you are shooting in a darker room, you can increase your ISO setting, which increases the camera’s sensitivity to light and allows it to capture the photos faster. For instructions, visit http://www.fhs.cuni.cz/ohsd/stranka/doku... .
Set Lens to Focus Automatically
If you set your lens to manual mode, the camera will not focus automatically. If you don't manually focus the the lens by rotating it, all your pictures will come out blurry because they are out of focus. You can set your camera to focus automatically by switching your lens from "MF" to "AF." Visit http://www.fhs.cuni.cz/ohsd/stranka/doku... for instructions.
My Camera is not Saving Pictures
My camera will not save any photos that I take.
Memory card is loose
If your pictures don't save, try taking out the memory card of your camera and putting it back in. Try taking a couple of photos to check if it is saving the images now. For instructions visit http://www.fhs.cuni.cz/ohsd/stranka/doku...
My Camara's Eyepiece is Loose
"The eyepiece on my camera is damaged."
Dropped Camera
If you dropped your camera on a hard surface it could have landed on the eyepiece, or something could have hit it while you had your camera in your purse/backpack. It is likely that you need to replace your eyepiece. Visit Canon EOS Rebel T1i Eyepiece Replacement, and follow the easy steps on how to replace your eyepiece
My Camera's Grip is Damaged
"The rubber grip on my camera is coming off, or it is damaged."
Nornal Wear and Tear
The rubber grip is usually damaged when you are using the camera. You might have scratched it with your nails as well as pulled one of the edges out. The best choice to fix a rubber grip is by replacing it because your camera will look better and you it will be more secure in your hands. For instructions on how to replace your rubber grip, visit Canon EOS Rebel T1i Rubber Grip Replacement

I notice my pictures have these lines down one side of each picture. I thought it was my new lens. When I put another lens on the camera I got the same result. Concerned and not sure what to do.

We have also experienced the camera not turning on after being in the cold (wet) outdoors taking pictures then going inside and drying it out, charging the battery, as well ass removing and drying the SD card and letting the camera sit on a heater vent to completely dry out. Still no power on Was a fix ever found out? Dec. 22, 2016

My camera wont turn on with memory card inserted. but when I remove it, the camera turns on. And also when it turns on, the red light on the bottom right wont blink.. What seems to be the problem?

So I am curious to know why my T1i won’t take pictures when it is in Auto Focus mode. It will snap pix in Manual Focus though. When in AF and depressing the shutter button, the camera sounds as if it is starting to focus but then nothing….
Any help?

my camera is not auto focusing. I took the lens off, cleaned the electrical connecters, switched the lens from AF to MF and back to AF. I reset the camera completely and it will still not AF. It will flash continuously and then say busy.
katherynemahoney - Contestar
in addition to not AF, I can not shoot indoors. The flash will blink repeatedly and then the camera says busy. I can get pictures outside just not auto focused so some are a little blurry no matter the shooting mode I am in.

The film does not advance on my Canon EOS Rebel 7i. I’m a notch below amateur.

My t1i displays NO CARD when the power is on and there is a card in it
Earl Foster - Contestar
@Vadez, @Mahoney: When the autofocus isn’t working, the camera won’t be able to take a picture. This is why manual mode works. A lot of these suffer from a broken ribbon where it has to bend when the lens is going in and out. If it is one of the kit lenses, it isn’t likely worth having fixed, but the DIY solution doesn’t look too bad. You can find Youtube videos, some better than others.
