In a recent interview with the guy that runs the M Line, he referred to the "sensor" as the entire assembly.... Silicon chip, glass cover plate, PCB, etc. Each is different from other models Which is how I think Leica refers to the "sensor". And why I guess you got a different answer.... There is NOTHING wrong with the silicon chip. The cover glass is the problem ( actually the coating on it....) It is all semantics..... I refer to the "sensor" as the silicon chip. I think Leica refers to it as the assembly.... So, yes, they replaced MY "sensor" using Leica's definition... Using my definition they replaced the cover glass.... Semantics, and accuracy of definition.... Also, remember my problem was that the cover glass fell off.... I have no idea if my cover glass was corroded, as well ..... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net For my situation I spoke to Leica directly and was advised the new manufactured sensor was installed.
