update

UPDATE: The 30D is semi-functioning. The top LCD and functions (back light, iso, metering mode, white balance etc.) on the top of the camera work 100% including the shutter/aperture wheel.

 

On the back of the camera the scroll wheel works 100%, but nothing else, the menu, playback, info buttons etc. seem to cause the camera to stop metering but does not kick into the desired function. The back LCD doesn't work either.

 

The on/off switch partially works, but when the camera is on and you set the switch to off, it does not shut the camera off, just disables all the buttons from working.

 

The camera also doesn't seem to read CF cards.

 

The 2-stage shutter button on the camera works in first stage (metering and focus), but does not work in second stage (doesn't release the shutter). When I plug the housing remote trigger into the side, the trigger seems to be malfunctioning and continuously firing (as the metering in the viewfinder is constantly shown suggesting it is always metering) but does not cause the camera to fire.

 

Also the viewfinder LCD works 100%.

 

If I pop the flash up It pops up, but the camera doesn't think it has and continues to release the latch for the flash then resulting in error 5.

 

So essentially I will need a new 30D and also will most likely need to get the housing trigger replaced.
