Dear users, 

I had the opportunity to get a free Leica r4s that didn't work proper and only shoots in the mechanical modes.. while searching for solutions I saw that this was a common problem with the magnets getting dirty, however when I cleaned the magnet the spring from the lever came off and is now somewhere in the camera itself.. luck was not on my side. When I thoroughly cleaned the magnets with alcohol it still didn't want to shoot besides bulb and 1/100 now I'm wondering is this because of the spring or because the dirty magnets where not problem?
