DMR LCD problem

The LCD on my DMR is not operating. When the camera is switched on it just diapys a white image. No amount of button pushing, switching on and off, battery recharging seems to make any difference.

 

I think it needs a trip to Solms. Has anyone any thoughts , or experienced anything similar?

Did you try a different SD card or try it without a card in it? You coud also try taing the DMR off the camera and cleaning all the contacts on both the camera and the DMR.

 

I have never heard of this problem before, so it may just be a failure that needs a trip to Leica service.

Did you try taking the DMR back off the camera and then re-connecting it rather than just taking the battery out?

Thanks for the responses.

 

I did take the back off - and incidentaaly it is so long since i have done so, and forgot how to do it!.

 

However, i did not clean it - but will do so and report back.

Reminds me of the emphasis put on the film/digitial duality by Leica and I wonder how many people really switched between the two on a regular basis.

From annecdotal evidence I'd say very few.

Well, in my case since I have another R8 with a film back, there is no need but the advantage is IF something goes wrong I can always switch to the film back and continue working. But certainly as suggested by Steve, I have no desire to switch back and forth on a regular basis.

Never switched.
