I bought an M8.2 back in November of last last... Been working well... No probs etc... Okay a bit of the paint is wearing away... But it's a tool not a museum piece!

 

Came to use it yesterday... Menu display working fine... But no battery indicator... No shutter function... No displays within the viewfinder, other than the framelines...

 

Assumed maybe the batteries needed topping up... So, charged my battery up... Plus two spares... Still the same thing...

 

Anyone heard of this before? Otherwise I will take it to my Manchester dealer in the next day or two...

 

Many thanks!

Mark,

 

That sounds odd, since you have a couple of days to think about it, why don't you jank the battery for say 2-3 days and then repower it..? I wish there were a "reset" button as electronics have a way to mess itself up now and then.

as noted yanking the battery out is a good idea to start- i would suggest a NEW sd card.

 

i was on vacation last August and i put in a "fresh" card before going out to dinner- i use many small sized cards rather than 1 big 1. sorta like many rolls of film

 

anyways when arrived at the luao (spelling??) i started to shoot- and nothing! boy was i upset- we got back to our room and i put in a different card and voila the camera worked- all that was lost were photos of a kickbutt luao.

 

 

it is worth a try

Tried everything you've suggested guys including batteries and SD cards... Even took it back to David at the Leica shop here in Manchester... As baffled as me!

 

So it's back to Leica...

 

Maybe with the timespan an all... And feeling a tadge generous... They might upgrade me to the 'M9'!

 

Ooops... There's those flying pink pigs again!

 

Cheers!

Perhaps we'll both be lucky. :) Mine is back at Solms for sensor replacement at the moment. (Please Leica, please, please, please. :D)

How long did it take from you wrote to Leica about your problem until you received an answer?

Still waiting...
