I had this problem with 2 M8's, 2M9's and one MM1 and its back on the M10, but ... it comes and goes unlike the others.  The others needed a new sensor for they had a dead pixel line.  

It arrived the first time a few months ago on some images but disappeared after formatting.  then last week it showed up, formatted and disappeared.  But this morning it struck.

 

Using a Sandisk Pro 32Gb

 

Love to hear any opinions, obviously Ill be sending it to NJ.

 

Thanks

If something is "gone" after formatting the card - for me it sounds like a card-problem. 

 

Have you ever tried out an other card...? I would do this. 

 

I had the same problem some years ago with my M8. Changed the card and never got 'my problem'.

A dead pixel line does not require a new sensor but a remapping. Unfortunately Leica won’t do it in firmware and you must send it in.

 

May I ask what ISO setting you used on that picture?

ISO 400. The other cameras all had sensor swaps.  One M9 had 3 sensor swaps the other 2 and the M8's had a total of 3 swaps between the 2 of them. That was fun.  For what its worth I used those cameras for work and hammered them pretty hard but still.

I think/hope youre right about this and no I havent.

Seems like, in the past, a few folks here had the lines appear at 640 which is why I asked. I only had a problem once with an M9 and Leica NJ mapped it out while I waited.

 

Good luck with it.

I had the same problem, but horizontally.

I did not send the camera to the factory but they asked for a picture with the line on a light and uniform background and then emailed me a file to remap the sensor. The problem has disappeared...
