Arang Posted January 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just did a sensor check on my M9 and I thought I saw dust and tried wet cleaning but was not able to remove them.Is this the corrosion problem so I will need to contact Leica AG and send in the camera for sensor replacement?Thanks to advise.

uhoh7 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2017 It does look like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arang Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted January 18, 2017 Thank you all. I have contacted Leica and will be sending in my camera for sensor replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehecatl Posted January 19, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 19, 2017 Please keep us updated as to how long it takes for the replacement. I won't be returning from Turkey until August, and then I fear I'm going to have to go through this process with my M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arang Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted February 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sent in my camera on Jan 18th. DHL tracking shows it has been received by Leica Camera AG on Jan 23rd. But when I checked with Customer care, they claimed it was delivered to German Customs in Dillenburg on Jan 23rd and will send me a receiving confirmation after it is received in their system. It has been 2 weeks and Customer care is still saying it is still with German Customs in Dillenburg. Tracking provided by Leica Customer Care: Welcome, dear visitor!

Arang Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted February 7, 2017 Timing could not have been so right....just got an email from Leica AG confirming the receipt of my camera. It does seem like Leica takes 2 weeks lead time from receipt to entering into their system! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevidon Posted February 7, 2017 Share #9 Posted February 7, 2017 Even when Leica in New Jersey was doing it, it took about three weeks for my M9P. Relax and wait. It will be done. Ist alles in ordnung, as they might say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldphart Posted April 3, 2017 Share #11 Posted April 3, 2017 Not sure this is the right place to post this if not then perhaps a mod can move it. I was in Wetzlar last week on my anual pilgrimage and took the opportunity to have my ME checked by customer services at the factory. It took about 30 minutes and was returned to me with a clean bill of health (NO sensor corrosion,) the sensor cleaned, and the software updated to the latest version. No charge at all. There was also a rather interesting display of Leica copies in the reception area. Allways nice to visit the factory and see the latest exhibition in the foyer and browse the shop.
