The used Leica S 006 I purchased from Camera west is now dead! It does not power on.. not with the battery, not with the AC adapter... 

I will have to visit the store tomorrow and hope for a refund .. I don't know how I can even begin to trust the S system with so many complaints plagued around it.. disappointed big time!!!

Disappointing.  But a good reason to stick with trustworthy dealers.  Hope this is a simple fix, or a seamless return/exchange.

Camerawest and Leica store SF are owned by the same person I believe.. both their listings are identical! 
so they should be as reliable as the other Leica dealers I think.. anyway, these come with a 90 day warranty so I don’t foresee any issues with returns.. if they’d like to offer a used 007 for 4K may be I’ll consider but again I am scared to touch an S body now without worrying about it turning into a brick

Same owners, plus Walnut Creek, if it’s still around.

Leica dealers are not the same in my experience. I trust some more than others.  Camera West has a good reputation.  Leica Miami is another that has a lot of experience with the S system, and does an even better job screening and prepping used gear for sale.

Talk to Hal, he'll take care of you. Good folk up there in WalCreek...they may in fact have a replacement 006 for you either in-store or in the SF location or Rancho Mirage (same owner). Stuff happens. My 006 took a trip to the mothership a couple years back and hasn't missed a beat since. Best files I've probably ever worked with.

This sounds like battery issue. Do you have multiple battery?

don't think it is a battery issue.. I have an AC adapter which didn't work either.. The battery was fully charged. I was using it when it stopped working.

Hi, I'm Sean, the owner of Camera West, Leica Store SF and CW Watch Shop.  I've never had an S body brick up before, but there is always a first time for everything.   You can ring me today at 760-992-5422 and we will get you fixed up, one way or another.

Glad to see that Sean is on this Forum. I have been thinking about getting another S body from Leica SFO stores, as well. I hope your problem will be resolved one way or other. I have enjoyed using S system for over eight years, still with my lowly S2 and full set of S lenses. Overall, I am pretty happy with the S system.

Very stand-up policy!  Kudos to Leica SF and Camera West.
