Can a Canon 450D (Preferably) owner do me a favour please?

Can you take off the lens and look at the 8 contact pins along the inside of where you put the lens? Are the pins all the same height? I think I've buggered mine and have one that is stuck 'down' but want to check it's not supposed to be like that!

On my 550D (which is the same lens fitment) three are raised on a bit of plastic, five are about 1mm further in, unraised. The only difference is between the two groups as a whole; no individual pin is lower than the other two or four in its group.

@eyebrows Thanks Steve - It's buggered then! There is an authorised Canon repair shop a couple of miles away, may well be sending the wife over there tomorrow!

Either that or check my home insurance policy ...

@katiegc24 Geez, and I thought @eyebrows was the nerdy, geeky one!

@edpartridge Oh it's all just an act, I couldn't possibly pretend to be as much of a computer buff as he is.

N.B. Not being a computer nerd doesn't mean that I am not a nerd. My nerdery is diverse and varied and takes other forms.
