jaapv Posted December 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) My DMR has started producing a ticking sound from time to time, which even goes one for a while after being switched off. Has anybody else had this strange phenomena? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Tick-tock DMR. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
topoxforddoc Posted December 26, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2012 Jaap, Nope. Not with either of my two DMRs. Presumably it’s working fine. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted December 26, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 26, 2012 I presume it is still mounted on the camera. Does it do that while the ambient temperature is changing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted December 26, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 26, 2012 The DMR is trying to boot up. I solved the problem by sending the camera to Leica USA. It was not an expensive repair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted December 26, 2012 Share #5 Posted December 26, 2012 My DMR has started producing a ticking sound from time to time, which even goes one for a while after being switched off. Has anybody else had this strange phenomena? My R8/DMR has done that for years. When I put in a new battery I had to turn the camera on and then off. Then it usually stops. It's like the camera is not completely turned off. The R9/DMR combo doesn't. If it could get fixed it would be nice. But I have learned to live with it.

jaapv Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone know that the DMR's electronic problem is still repairable? Cheers. No. No electronic repairs are possible any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks for the reassuring answers, guys. Still, it has shaken my confidence of the reliability of the DMR a bit. That puts more pressure on me to crystallize my replacement strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black J Posted December 27, 2012 Share #11 Posted December 27, 2012 No. No electronic repairs are possible any more. What a shame, the IQ of DMR is awesome, especially the color, I assume the DMR is better than M9 in color rendition, my Summilux 50 E60 has been sitting in the closet for a long long time...

earleygallery Posted December 27, 2012 Share #12 Posted December 27, 2012 From the title I thought this was going to be a joke along the lines that the DMR was counting down its last days until the arrival of the new M..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted December 27, 2012 Share #13 Posted December 27, 2012 That puts more pressure on me to crystallize my replacement strategy. Upon reading the thread subject at first I thought you meant by "Tick-Tock DMR" that the DMR was ticking down for its final explosion just before the new M becomes available.

hoppyman Posted December 28, 2012 Share #14 Posted December 28, 2012 My DMR has started producing a ticking sound from time to time, ...... Jaap, possibly it is a countdown until you are compelled to place a pre-order for an M typ 240 Resistance is futile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsteve Posted December 28, 2012 Share #17 Posted December 28, 2012 No. No electronic repairs are possible any more. Jaap: I had asked Leica about DMR repairs a few week ago and they can do physical repairs, switches and etc, but if there are problems with the circuit boards, they have no replacements.

This is part of the reason that over the last few years that Justin Stailey of Leica USA dissuaded me from the purchase of a DMR and he suggested that I wait, of course, that would no be for the purchase of the upcoming M camera.

No question buying a DMR after it was discontinued is financially risky. OTOH I'm still delighted with the image quality it produces. If I had waited instead for the M solution the photos I've made would not have been the same. IMHO it was money well spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Rich: You have to remember that some of us got many years of trouble free use out of our DMR. A couple years agonwhen you asked about this the DMR was already over five years old and any sane camera representative would not suggest a purchase of such old technology.
