After having done all the things suggested, and the display still not functioning, I called Leica in NJ and asked them as well... According to the person I spoke with, there is a wire in the metering system which can either break or come loose...and if it does, disables the metering system. I think it was Anthony who said it was a solid state system and shouldn't burn out...I guess tiny wires don't know that... But again thanks for all the advice... As for street shooting...my experiences are that most people are okay with it (if they know and/or care to pay attention.) I have come across several characters who put their hand out for a "donation" in order to snap the shutter...In one instance, it was a small boy on the US-Mexico border crossing at Tijuana...he refused to allow me to take his image without paying...kept hiding his face...I finally got the photo by setting the lens on infinity and holding the camera at my hip...
