Fred,
four years ago I lived some months in New York City (working and learning a
little bit english). I bought a CL. After two or three films, suddenly, I
had exactly the same problem you describe.
I asked to the shopkeeper to fix that problem. He had to send the camera to
Leica (somewhere in US) because there were nothing he could do: contacts
were clean, battery new, and so on.
Unfortunately I don't know exactly what happen to it. Actually, after three
months I had to leave NYC and the camera was still in the factory. The
shopkeeper refunded the price I payed, but I lost a very nice CL, with a
Wetzlar 40 lens.

Best whishes.
