They replaced a bunch of parts including the back panel, with a new LCD cover and buttons. The skin has been rewrapped which is great. However the initial issue I sent the Leica in for (the arrows in the viewfinder are not displaying perhaps dead diodes) is still broken.... I emailed Leica and they want me to send the camera back again for inspection. So back to New Jersey its going... Dam, and you paid $2246 usd for the service??

Should be arriving in 2 days Nice, didn’t cost you anything this time though? Also, I’m wondering, you didn’t go with the “Leica Certificate” repair type, did you? Because that type of repair will bring everything back to manufacture spec and comes with 2 years warranty. That’s an option when sending in your Leica in for repair but I’m not sure if it only applies to Leica M9 and up. also curious about the sensor image banding prior to sensor replacement. Do you have any old pictures that you took and that shows the banding in the images? Thanks Edited January 18, 2023 by 69xchange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the OP got a free sensor replacement after complaining. Worse part is, NJ didn't even open the camera up and customer service just spewed out BS saying it was broken to make a sale. I wonder if its too late for you to complain to HQ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
