Douglas Allchin Posted December 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) When I switch on my Type 107 it beeps, the screen is 'on' in that there's a discernible glow but no menus or anything else, and it makes a distinct beeping noise almost like an old ring from the bell on a landline phone.. NOTHING works. It worked perfectly when last switched off. It did update its firmware a while ago BUT HAS BEEN FINE IN USE SINCE THEN.. IT HAS NOT BEEN DROPPED OR OTHERWISE MISHANDLED. I HAVE TRIED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT BATTERIES AND SD CARDS.. PLEASE HELP? Thanks Edited December 1, 2019 by Douglas Allchin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Hi Douglas Allchin, Take a look here Beeping noise, camera inert X-Vario Type 107. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted December 1, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 1, 2019 Try another (full!) the battery, use a different SD card. If no improvement, send to Leica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 1, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 1, 2019 Very strange. You can't even do a factory reset. The beep suggests a processor fault, rather than an LCD. It is an excellent camera in good health and would be worth asking Leica to investigate and fix for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwF Posted December 1, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 1, 2019 That is strange. If you are in the States, I'd send to New Jersey. They are usually quick (what with (CCD sensor replacements notwithstanding) to turn it around. It is too good a camera not to have up and running.
