I never owned a 30D, but I have read about similar problems with 30D's on other forums. Sounded like a faulty design or manufacture of the circuit board itself.

I now send all my stuff to Willich. I have had a 30D fixed two times by Geissler for the same problem, which eventually occured a third time. (electrical board failure). When the problem occured a third time I send the camera to Willich where it was fixed for free although the last repair was more than two years ago.
BTw Anybody had the same bad experience with the 30D? Mine developed the board failure (camera completly dead, not even an error report) three month after purchase and has since then broken two more times despite exchange of the circuit boards by Geissler and not a single outing in harsh conditions. Shutter count must be less than 20.000. Either the circuit of the 30D carries some inherent deign problem or the repair facilty was just incompetent.
