Aram, David,
Thanks. The camera and DMR are well under warranty so that is not a
problem. Sorry, no other R9 was near enough to try the DMR on for
fault isolation purposes.
When I described the three anomalies I was experiencing, the person
with whom I spoke at Leica New Jersey did not hesitate and said,
"Send it in." I sent it by FedEx this morning, its second visit to
New Jersey, the first time for Settings Wheel replacement when it was
very new.
All the anomalies are annoying but the one that broke the camel's
back was this one, which was getting worse and worse, i.e., more
frequent, and now may be a hard failure.
With the camera turned off, inserting a fresh battery lit up the
window with the Leica logo, briefly, and turned on the LCD display.
Several of the functions in the LCD display were operable, such as
WB, as was the Menu function in the upper window, all of this, mind
you, with the camera turned off. Something was definitely wrong.
Turning the camera on sometimes actually turned it on, other times it
did not.
I very quickly decided that it was beyond my ability to cope.
I'll keep you posted.
All the best,
Bill

Jonathan,
Thank you; that is encouraging. See my previous post for the
denouement of the story.
I hope my problem turns out to be as simple as yours and not as bad
as David Young's was. We'll see; wish me luck!
The original problem, which started all my travails, was the meter
cell, which failed exactly as Jonathan's has.
If under warranty, no problem, other than most likely no camera
over Christmas. If out of warranty, I understand that the repair
runs between $300 & $400.
Good Luck!
David.
