What is white? The back display panel or images which you've saved on the memory card?

@dbboldrick since you already ordered it you might as well look at this video about the extent it takes to get it done. Remember that this can also be caused by issues with the memory card, as well as bad RAM and multiple other issues. Post some images of the connector you are unsure about, with your QUESTION. Let’s see what is going on with it. Adding images to an existing question

@dbboldrick - OK, did you try cleaning the sensor or bang into it? The sensor is one possibility but there are a few others.

I would bring the camera into a Canon authorized service station or Canon directly. They will be able to diagnostically isolate out what has failed.

I’ll warn you this could get expensive.

I have replaced the toggle switch twice internally with a replacement assembly. on this unit

Good directions on u tube. This time, the second time , is when the images went white on the screen and on the memory cards upon completion of the toggle lever.

Seems like a problem with the connector between rear section and main board. Just cannot find the issue. I have ordered a new cmos sensor. But that looks like a deeper challenge. And not sure if that is the issue. Can get replacement used. Mark 3. Cheaper then Canon repair. So. Just looking for suggestions and guidance. It has been good a long time for me

@dbboldrick Sadly you need a special tool which Canon has to run the diagnostics.

Sorry I think you're reaching with the sensor. Its possible you messed up the one of connections if you where re-assembling after a repair.
