howard_cummer Posted August 30, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was shooting panoramas off a neighbour's dock in Ontario's cottage country a couple of nights ago when my M8 (purchased in February) stopped working. I got an "ERR" message in the view finder and on the LCD back two messages: "attention drive blocked" and then "attention shutter fault". Over night I took the battery out and in the morning tried to revive the camera. No joy: - so I packed it up and sent it from Ontario Canada to Solms via Canada Post Courier and emailed both Leica Solms and the Leica agent in Hong Kong about my problem. Both acknowledged my message and now I am waiting to see what will happen. I want my repaired or replaced camera sent to Hong Kong (home town) and in the meantime through the kindness of friends I have gone back to shooting filmon a borrowed M6. I am not particularly happy but then these things do happen. I hope the waiting time for the return of the camera won't be too long. Cheers Howard (without digital in Muskoka Canada - film what's that??) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted August 30, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2007 Howard, when you took the lens off, did you notice if the white stripe was in the correct position - if not, it means the shutter has not been cocked after the last photograph. Either the motor and associated electronics is not working or the shutter is jammed and the motor can't cock it. There's a sensor in there which detects the motion of the cocking lever.
