Send it back. It's a shutter problem.

I have a Minilux, just returned from Leica repair center in Germany (after 3
months away) to have the shutter repaired.
Since its return, I cannot get it to operate correctly, keeps giving me a
error of "E02" and will not turn off.
If I take the battery out and re-insert it, the camera will then turn off.
Any suggestions?

I have an old Weston Master IV that is just a joy to use, although the
invercone for it went astray eons ago.
