jbstitt Posted November 26, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted November 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sent my D2 to Leica in New Jersey (USA) for sensor repair on August 3rd and their repair Estimate dated 6 Auggust says 4 to 5 weeks. I know they have sensor back order problems but isn't this getting a little long? What has been the turn around time others have had? I have gone to the web site and requested and update but still have not heard any response from that. Just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted November 26, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted November 26, 2007 Mine was sent about 2 weeks ago - 8 weeks quoted as repair time due to sensor shortage. I did read somewhere since that a batch of sensors has arrived at Solms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbstitt Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted November 27, 2007 I hate to spread gloom but if I calculate right I will next week be looking at 4 months since I sent in my D2. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the warrenty repair, and I understand the do a full checkout and conditioning at the same time, but the 4 months is a long way from the 4 to 5 weeks on the Repair Estimate sheet. I guess what bothers me the most is the long period with no update. An email just stating that - due to the large number of replacements and availability of sensors the repair of my camera will take much longer than originally estimated - would be greatly appreciated. Â I will be excited when it does finally come back. I am missing my good friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_lague Posted November 28, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted November 28, 2007 I had a similar problem with my LC1. Sent it off to Chicago with credit card info and everything they requested. After 3 weeks I called them and they said "we don't take American Express" They were not going to tell me or call or e-mail. So I gave them a visa card and waited another month and called back again. "We are just getting to it." It took another 2 weeks. Â But I love the camera! I bought an L1k in while waiting and I love that one too. Â Out of the Panasonic 1 year warrantee, it cost over $400 USD for the sensor replacement, and a new LCD [i cracked that plastic cover], but well worth it. They even upgraded the firmware while they were repairing the camera. Â Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbstitt Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share #9 Â Posted November 30, 2007 My beloved child came back from NJ yesterday. I had almost forgotten what it looked like. Spent the evening resetting all the functions the way I like and getting the feel again Seems to be working just fine. So the total time gone was just 3 days shy of 3 months.
