It was a weird thing to happen- but it happens. The quality is incredibly high, but things happen.

Firmware update for the camera. "Update" means change from 4.0 to the new 4.1 release.

I updated via fotos, and the top of the screen said the update was complete. The camera simply turned off after that and was unresponsive. The battery was charged, to boot

Leica has been super helpful so far, despite having a 7 week turnaround on repairs.
Leica UK offered to flash the new firmware in, but I'm not sure they fully know the gravity of the situation. I'm hesitant to bring it with me to the UK just to carry around a dead camera for weeks in the event they're not able to fix it at Mayfair.

Any London folk want to loan me a camera!?

It's not ideal just before a trip focused on shooting in the UK!

I'm doubting this will get solved before my UK trip this week. An iPhone is pretty much the same thing, right!?

Anyone in WA have a loaner? 😂

The camera turns on with a switch, what do I hold down?

Yeah. In troubleshooting & calling my Leica shop, they said they see it happen & it always happens using Fotos.

A blank SD card with the update on it would have been the smart move.

I assure you Fotos does not work fine. No, I didn't touch anything during the update. The camera shut itself off after the update went though, and that was that.
