My beloved daughter attempted to murder my M6TTL and Leica fixed it for free. My warranty is more than paid for already and I have two years to go (or two years to get my daughter out of the house!). The M6TTL has had some circuit board problems (especially in early cameras) and Leica has been very good about fixing the problems. I would not send a M6TTL camera to anyone who was not trained on them. Just removing the top plate without an anti-static strap could toast the electronics. After all it just $33.33 a year!
