John McMaster Posted March 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been using my 4 year old M(240) quite a lot this past week, often with Leica R adapter/60mm/EVF. It gave me a low battery/change battery warning so I did that but then it does not turn on again. There is no red light on rear of camera and nothing works...... I left the battery out overnight but it made no difference, has anybody seen this issue or will it be a trip to Wetzlar? john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblutter Posted March 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2017 Try another battery? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted March 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2017 Or another charger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunta Posted March 28, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2017 If you switch on and wait a few seconds do you see the framelines in the viewfinder and an sd message where shutter speed usually appears when you half press the shutter? Try a different SD card if so, could be corruption. Failing that, a trip to Leica I'm afraid (see my post from the weekend). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted March 28, 2017 Three fully charged batteries, tried without a card as well as other cards, no electrics (neither red light on back nor v/f frames).... john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunta Posted March 28, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2017 Sorry to hear that John. Hopefully you can get it to Leica relatively easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 29, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 29, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Might be a bad battery contact. Have a look in the battery compartment to see if there is something in there that you can rectify (like a piece of lint or slightly bent contact pin) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks Japp, done that and rubbed the contacts but no go. Only a couple of days shooting left so the S2 will have to do things it was not really designed for ;-) john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
