shar187 Posted September 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm looking to purchase a used M8 however it has a small yellowish spot on the lcd screen in the centre (doesn't affect pictures however). Anyone have any idea what could have caused this and whether there is a relatively easy fix/or possible price for replacement screen/panel (I'm guessing possibly not cheap!)

Erik Gunst Lund Posted September 30, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2012 Leica are out of screens for the M8, so that is not an option, sorry. Has been a major talk of the forum lately... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm guessing that used camera is a no-goer then. Thanks for such a quick response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iedei Posted September 30, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2012 you could always offer him a LOW price on it and buy it......the yellow-ish stain shouldn't affect the function of the screen, it will only just look annoying.....or you could just find another camera without that problem!

earleygallery Posted October 1, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like the 'coffee stain' issue (do a search). Replacement screens are not available so if/when that screen fails your M8 is pretty much useless. Leica will give you a discount on a new camera as they can't repair it. If you want an M8 look for one with a perfect screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doolittle Posted October 1, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2012 It's a cosmetic issue. It doesn't mean the screen is more likely to fail than any another M8. If you can put up with it and negotiate a substantial discount from the seller, it might be worth consideration. As said, Leica aren't able to replace the screen, but will most likely offer you a good price on an M9 or similar in lieu of a repair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
