[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My M9 is in NJ right now and I'll report on the fix once it's done. Timing etc. I received a telephone call early morning on Wed from the service lady who was very nice and talked about the camera and testing for repair. I believe it's sensor corrosion from the photos I sent in. Hoping for the best.
