[Leica] Leica Repair

Frank,


Unfortunately no pricing on the invoice, as it was all under warranty. 
?However, fixing the frame lever stiffness should have been nothing more 
than lubricant or loosening the lever, so probably no charge. ?The sleep 
mode problem was a circuit board fix, I think they told me it was a 
transistor which was the culprit, but I assume they just replaced the 
circuit board. ?I would therefore guess $100 to $200 for the board repair, 
even at Leica Prices. ?I base this off a of a R4sp temperature problem fix a 
few years back, it cost me $150 to fix, and I'm pretty sure they replaced 
the board with the problem back then.
