A link in Chinese regarding shutter error repair for the Leica CM. Nice pictures of the repair.

Here is a translation of the opening paragraph, thanks to Google:
*****************
Leica CM, Minilux other models because of its high-grade titanium shell work, high quality Leica large aperture prime lens, lightweight and portable pocket size, the ideal model of high-quality film photography enthusiasts.
However, since these models are highly integrated integrated design, electronic aperture lens shutter and are concentrated in the non-interchangeable lens assembly. This will inevitably require the use of the flexible circuit board reciprocates within the barrel frequently to achieve information exchange on the aperture and shutter. In order to ensure the accuracy of the telescopic lens barrel, the camera also related detection mechanism, will display the corresponding error code (eg E02, E01) when a fault occurs in the camera. When the lens cable break or telescopic lens is not in place, the camera will be given, automatically lock, so that the camera can not continue to use. If the camera is scrapped it because these issues it is a pity.
*
I am in the wild and low key dive time is not too short, but also for the forum to solve a lot of friends CM, Minilux of such failure. For such failures better approach:
1. find factory-made flexible circuit board, after several improvements to make it more resistant to rubbing;
2. Improve barrel flexible circuit board space activities, resulting in the flexible circuit board handle broken position;
