nedchiu Posted April 4, 2008 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone, This is my first post. Ever since the D2 came out, I liked it so much I bought one for myself and one for my wife. Well mine looks like its needs repairs. I haven't used it for a couple of weeks and when I turned the camera on, no picture. Everything else is there, the menus, the functions on both the EVF and LCD. But no picture. I tried taking pictures to see if anything is saved onto the SD card, nothing. Any suggestions, is it the dreaded CCD. I think this is the "Totally black image..." as below. The serial number is 2995xxx. Thank you, Ed PRESS RELEASE: Extended customer service for Leica Digilux 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12/13/2006 - Leica Camera AG is offering all owners of the LEICA DIGILUX 2 a customer service free of charge even beyond the stated warranty period. Specifically, this refers to exchanging the digital camera's sensor in the case of a rarely occurring malfunction. Leica Camera AG has opted for this extended warranty due to the fact that there have been a few reports of this malfunction caused by faulty manufacturing which also affects some other makes' cameras. Prolonged use of the camera in tropical climate conditions has occasionally led to effects such as black stripes in the image or even a totally black image. This malfunction can be the result of sensors whose specifications do not meet the respective Leica Camera AG production and testing standards. Even though the malfunction occurs only after prolonged use in extreme conditions, i.e. perhaps even after the warranty period has expired, thanks to the service described here, the LEICA DIGILUX 2 customers can rely on having their camera repaired free of charge over a longer period of time. Thus, supported by this measure, Leica Camera AG is ensuring that the LEICA DIGILUX 2 will retain its value after having been discontinued. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted April 4, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2008 If it is the CCD, it is still under extended guarantee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted April 5, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2008 Send it off to your Leica Dealer/Agent with a copy of the extended guarantee ( do a search on this forum for lots of threads regarding this problem) - refuse to take a Digilux 3 "upgrade" offer - sit back and wait - it's worth it!

NickEgg Posted April 5, 2008 Share #6 Posted April 5, 2008 I would have to agree about the D2. It's great, I've had mine since '04 and it's been a real workhorse. The images from this camera never let me down. Good luck with the repair. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
