Roger Al Posted August 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a D lux 7 3 months ago and my LCD screen misted up. I took it back to the Leica shop I bought it from and they told me they'd send it away and I'd get it back within a week. As I hadn't banging it in any way I assumed it would be under guarantee. Three weeks later they sent me an extimate of £221 to replace the screen. Did I want to go ahead? Has anyone else suffered similarly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2020 Question is: why did it mist up? Moisture intrusion? The camera is not sold as watertight, that makes it a case for. insurance, not for guaranty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't 'mist up' it actually became full of vertical lines. I neither banged it nor did it get wet. I was using it as the the battery went flat. After recharging the screen was full of vertical lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lykaman Posted August 28, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Sounds strange, did you purchase it new? from a Registered Leica Dealer? As you don't say where you live, I would email Leica Corp and go from there.. I've never had a Leica dealer offer such a quick turnaround, which service centre did they send it?

jaapv Posted August 28, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 28, 2020 That is indeed surprising. What Leica shop did you buy it from? Leica Mayfair? I would indeed ask for an explanation. A week turnaround is unheard of, I agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
