brickftl Posted December 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I turned on the camera - screen was black. Then message appeared saying please turn off and then turn on your camera. Did that a couple of times, same problem. On the latest turning back on there's a red message saying System Error. Any suggestion? By the way, I turned it off, took out battery and SD card and will wait another 15 minutes before trying again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Hi brickftl, Take a look here Q3 system error. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Le Chef Posted December 17, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2023 Try charging up the battery to 80%. Change the card to one you have used previously with this camera. That way you can begin to elimate some of the variables. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltz Posted December 19, 2023 Share #3 Posted December 19, 2023 I would also try a different SD card. If the card is older it could have reached its read and write limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickftl Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted December 19, 2023 I have a funny feeling this is card related, so I ordered a new SD card. Will report back if it solves the problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymoose Posted December 22, 2023 Share #6 Posted December 22, 2023 Try removing the battery for 10 seconds and then putting it back in. That's fixed issues with my Q2 before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickftl Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted December 27, 2023 I tried the new SD card, no change. Still got the system error message. I spoke to Leica who told me to send it in for repair/replacement which I did Tuesday. Bummer, I wanted to use it for New Year's Eve here in Key West.

Daveyjung Posted October 13, 2024 Share #11 Posted October 13, 2024 OP, Any updates on what the problem was? I’m getting the same screen and am wondering if I’ll need to ship it to Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
