[Leica] is this a bad pixel? (the bad kind of red dot)

[photo.forrest at earthlink.net (Phil)]

It's covered under my M8 Leica refurb warranty, so for your M9 it's a
sure thing. You may just be without your camera for some time,
especially if it has to go to Solms. You could probably hand-deliver it
to Leica NJ and they could assess the situation right there & let you
know what kind of time you're looking at. you shouldn't have to send it
back to BCC, the dealer I bought my M8 from said to deal with Leica NJ
directly and if there was any issue that the seller needed to address,
they were happy to assist.
