Another dead D2...

As I reported in an earlier message my LC1 recently died on me with what I thought was sensor failure.

 

The good news is that it has been returned to me within 3 weeks from Bigston (the Panasonic Repair Center) - repaired free of charge. Needless to say I am chuffed. Thought other LC1 owners out there would like to know that Leica's not alone in delivering good service.

 

Don't really know if it was the sensor - the invoice merely states 'replaced Part # VEKOF72' - description - 'NR PC BD'. I'm guessing that means a printed circuit board rather then the sensor - or is that one and the same?

Per Panasonic's Online Parts site, "VEKOF72" is the $382.13 circuit board for the sensor:

 

VEK0F72CCD PC BOARD 382.13

Mine's in for the same problem. The repair order quotes no charge.

 

Does anyone know if the replacement sensor is of better quality than the failed one? I don't want to go through this agan.

 

Thanks,

Jon

How many exposures have people taken prior to seeing this problem? Touch on wood, I haven't seen any such malfunctioning problems with the sensor on mine...just yet. But I seem to be anticipating that this will eventually happen with the increasing frequency of such posts by our other members.
