From a totally different point - the camera is struggling to stay with you, Wilfredo. You know there is some anima in them, with your background. 😇

Yes, it's true.  I purchased a Leica Q2M and given my aging physical limitations, that's become my camera of choice.  I can't justify keeping both, I'm simplifying.  If I were a pro, perhaps it would be different.  It's a beautiful camera that has given me tons of satisfaction.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Just as a follow up, I have been in touch with Leica in Solmns, and they have reassured me that I have the latest sensor on my camera.  As I said earlier, they replaced the sensor.  Thankfully,  they did so with their upgraded sensor. All is good.

They must have forwarded the call to Wetzlar. 😳

Glad it worked out.

GOOD NEWS:  I tried once again resetting the camera, switched the SD card, tested the self timer (for no particular sensible reason) and now it's back to normal.  I put the first SD card in the camera, and it is still working as it should.  She fires up when I turn her on.  She's back to her old self!!!

The moral of this story, don't mess with the software on your camera unless you absolutely know what you're doing.  Funny thing though, when I unboxed the camera, since I had ready for sale, it looked as beautiful as ever, and I thought to myself, "do I really want to let go of this camera???"  

It's actually a very safe procedure BUT you have to be very careful not to change any settings in the service menu. Just look at the numbers and get back out. I've done it numerous times with three different M9M bodies. Glad you solved the problem.
