No go, back to Leica when I return home :-( Only a couple of days shooting before I finish so not too bad....

Tina is probably on the best track if it needs a "field repair".
But to add to the battery contacts. Also clean out ( off?) the camera's internal contacts for the battery .
Use a pink pencil eraser.....  Just enough abrasion to clean any schmutz from the contacts.  Blow it off when you have cleaned them.

Your other choice is not as convenient... Leica Repair.......

Try cleaning battery contacts with a pencil eraser??  I can't imagine what could be wrong with it.

Good luck.
