I did read one report where the user killed their camera by installing a hacked version of the firmware. Leica repaired the camera at some expense including having to replace a circuit board. However at his request they actually fitted the new shutter while the camera was disassembled AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. You would have to think that was a goodwill gesture (and very undeserved), even though he acknowledged that it was his fault. I also recall another report where something similar happened while a sensor was being replaced under warranty. However I can't locate that one currently.
