I just assumed that this was a dead battery and replaced the battery. Same thing. I suppose of course that the replacement battery could be bad, too (it came from Radio Shack and I bought it at least a year ago). Is this failure mode of the metering system something that happens? Also: how on earth am I supposed to get the battery cover off without scratching it? I finally used some Silly Putty to get a grip on it, but I didn't think of that until I'd tried several other techniques, none of which worked. And what's the best way to touch up scratches in that paint? Ordinary black spraypaint? $200/bottle Leica-branded spraypaint? Black nail polish? - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
