Since the mirror can't go up, shutter won't fire, try  to holding camera
upside down and shake, *maybe* this will move the screen out of the way
enough for the lens to be dismounted normally. Other option is to force lens
off.

| This may be possible, I did a screen change on the body during the weekend
and this was the first time I'd fired it since.  It seemed like the screen
frame latched in normally - but maybe it didn't.

| So what is the procedure from here - can I "open it up" somehow to
check/re-fit the screen ?
