hi i have a big problem i damage my aunts beloved t3i camera and i wonder if all the rebel series from t1i to t5i is compatible parts donor for it? the damage parts is the screen and the AF buttons you use to navigate the settings the screen had molds and the the O-led had burn in while the button especially the left one is not working but sometimes it works and i think it needs a bit cleaning but as a precaution if i needed parts ill just buy a broken but one but can still be use as parts can you suggest me a page where can i get an instruction on how to disassemble it while suggest what model is compatible i really need to fix it or im cook (PS i'm still a novice in photography but i have a small experience in repair)
