SL2s rear screen glitching problem

Hi all, just has this happen. I turned the camera on and the rear screen started scrolling and glitching. I turned it off and on again and all seems ok now. Is this something anyone else has seen and should I be worried? (I am a bit worried but accept that all things electric have their moments). Any advice/observations gratefully received, thanks.

I have never seen that happen. If you show it to Leica, I assume they are going to ask you to send it in. If you have warranty still, you might consider doing so. I would probably just do what you have done, which is wait and see if it happens again. Hopefully it is just a fluke of some kind. (static electricity, computer glitch etc). But if it keeps happening, my guess is that there is a hardware fault in the screen.

Hi Pieter, please can you point me in the right direction (new user) of the correct forum, I thought the SL System forum would be appropriate? Many thanks for responding.

Thanks Stuart, I do have warranty left so will pursue that avenue. It hasn't happened again but there's always doubt. I am lucky in that I've never had a failure of any system in many years of photography with pretty much every brand, just sold up and changed to Leica and this happened. Oh well. Blast etc

My mistake. I thought I was on a different forum. Good luck finding a fix for your issue.

It was in the S forum. I moved the topic.

Thanks for letting me know I am not losing my mind yet. Or at least have some of it still intact.

I think it is probably one of the ribbon cables not been lined up.

I had it happen on the Visoflex with the M10r.  Looks like the connection is not stable.
