Ok... Here is some update on my situation. I think it might be funny and even useful. Anyway. I was desperately looking for a solution - a pair of really tiny screws to fix the plate in place. In fact I organized a family brainstorm - me and my wife were looking for everything we have at home to get the screws. Even my 5 year son broght me some toy cars with small screws
BTW - screws from my old 300D wouldn\'t fit.
Guys, I was seriosly upset. I wasn\'t blaming Canon, heavens and everybody on Earth crying why it happened to me but...
And as usual the solution was under my very nose. Or should I say ABOVE my very nose? My old eyeglasses - got the screws from it and guess what? Perfect fit! 2 minutes and I have the plate back in place! While doing that I heard something dropped on the table and it was one of the original screews. It was really small. I can\'t even imagine who can I find something similar. Anyway - eyeglass screws were absolutely fine and I made about 10 shots just to test the camera. Perfect!
Well - will update the thread after I make another thousand of clicks just to let you know if the solution was really safe. However if you have a service center nearby - you\'d better ask them for fix.
