Future2001 Posted March 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) So after alot of months of having dust under my LCD screen. My m240's rangefinder was misaligned and the hot shoe stop firing. So I took it into the DC Leica Store. First of all it was a great experience. They took the camera and gave me a reciept and four days later I received an email with confirmation of reciept and a detail "report" of what is wrong. My question is what is a part number 420-240-230-000 m flex board? I would email them but they're slow to respond through email. Figured I'd try here first. Here's what the email says. Hello Mr. Jones, We have received an estimate for your Leica camera. They wish to: clean lcd adjust r/f repair synchronization check and adjust for good working order 420-240-001-041 M leather covering 420-240-230-000 m flex board I will let you know as soon as the camera is back from repair. It is scheduled to be completed around the second week of April. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Best, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted March 27, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2015 My question is what is a part number 420-240-230-000 m flex board? It is most likely the PCB fitted together with the hot shoe just under the top cover, connected to the main PCB by means of a flex connector. Likely this was the defective part which caused your hot shoe not working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted March 27, 2015 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2015 Are they going to replace the leather covering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill W Posted March 27, 2015 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2015 I guess I have no clue how it comes apart. Never tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted March 27, 2015 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2015 I guess I have no clue how it comes apart. Never tried. Well, Mark took the M8 apart for us in this classic thread. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted March 27, 2015 Share #7 Posted March 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Are they going to replace the leather covering? They almost always replace the covering. Invariably need to come off to dismantle the camera when anything internal needs fiddling with. It's a 2 minute job to replace ...... as anyone who has bought customised leather to use instead of the supplied covering will attest .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future2001 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks guys. I was curious and that makes a lot of sense. Luckily everything is under warranty. I purchased my M240 certified pre owned from Popflash.com and happily the warranty transfered. Whew. I had some concerns but Leica NJ's Roxanan Lynch set up my warranty after my purchase. Who knows how much this would have cost without the warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
