Taking the camera apart doesn't sound like a very good idea to me

When I first got my R8, it was permanently set to 100 ISO. In order for me to get it to set via the DX Code, I found (with help from the kind folks here) that I have to go right to the top of the scale, to ISO 10,000 and then one step more brought back the DX code setting.

I don't have an M6, but this something similar may be occuring there.

Have you tried speaking with your local Leica office, or the person who sold you the camera?
