McGirton Posted August 2, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, did anybody here take apart their M10? I have a slightly sticky / bit smooth shutter button and an on/off switch that could probably go easier. I am aware how to take an M9 / M240 top plate off, but I have found no info on the M10. Is it the same few screws? Also, maybe I can solve the button issue without taking the camera apart? I’ve read about spraying some electronics contact spray into the button? I would rather not send it in for 6 months.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelatino Posted August 2, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 2, 2023 I don't want to lead you in a wrong direction, but my M11 shutter button had an issue that was solved by unscrewing it, I mean the large diameter piece next to the top plate (you may need an ad hoc key) and add a thin washer (?). The Leica technician said the same problem occured on the M10-P, and it was the way to solve it; so I suppose both shuttter buttons on M10 and M11 are identical. Hope it helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesphoto99 Posted August 2, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2023 Same two screws - one in the battery mouth and a longer one on the other side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the tool used to unscrew the top of the shutter button, maybe I’ll get one and try this before I take the top plate off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatino Posted August 2, 2023 Share #5 Posted August 2, 2023 The tool looks like a keyhole. I know that Leica provides one for the Leica stores, but it may be convenient and not so difficult to make one from a 3mm aluminium plate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
