David and Alastair - appreciate your predicaments as well.  I don't  
have an alternative Leica body.  Could always go back to the E-1, but  
the point of the M8 is that it is so compact and unobtrusive.

I have heard of others, on the Leica Camera Users Forum, with this  
problem, but it is usually temporary, you take out the battery, let  
the camera reset and put the battery back in, however with mine it  
seems a complete electronic lock up.

I'll know more Tuesday when my dealer contacts the Leica rep.
