Leica Disto A5 does not measure with the main button, but it does measure with the timer

I have a Leica Disto A5. The On button turns it on, but does not run the laser. With the timer button I can measure... It's not because of the battery. any ideas? Thanks a lot

It's possible that the main button may be malfunctioning or broken, which is preventing it from activating the laser. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Ensure that the laser is not obstructed or dirty. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens clean.
  2. Check the battery contacts and make sure they are clean and properly aligned. You can clean the contacts with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
  3. Try resetting the device by removing the batteries for a few minutes and then reinserting them.
  4. Check the user manual or manufacturer's website for any firmware updates that may address the issue.
If none of these steps work, it may be necessary to send the device in for repairs or contact Leica customer support for further assistance.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your answer. Leica service told me they don't service this device. The solution is to buy another one, which in a few years will also no longer have support... bad business for the client. It is not a problem with the batteries or its contacts, nor the lens or the laser, because with the Timer it works well. I had already tried the battery drain and it didn't work either. I have not found firmware update..."

My leica disto A5 is not measuring more than 2.5 meters , if i measure more thank 2.5 meters it give info 255

First, insert brand new Duracell batteries. Then you might try cleaning the optics with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. A 255 error indicates that the unit is not getting a strong enough signal, essentially that not enough of the laser is getting back through the optics to the sensor. If these don't make a difference, contact the dealer you bought it from, it may be eligible for the Leica repair program. (good luck if you bought it off ebay or from an unauthorized dealer)

Have a Leica Disto basic and need to know how to change measurement from m to ft.

Press and hold the circle button down, after a few seconds it will flash 'beep on/off', dont stop holding it down, it will then cycle to 'units', press +/- to change between metric and imperial, then press the = button to store. If you keep holding it down you can set the reference pont (where the measurement is taken from, the back, middle or front edge of the machine) add an offset (add take away from the displayed dimension), and you can also reset the machine.

I have a Leica Disto 5 laser device. The view screen has a crack in it that is spreading. Can that small, clear plastic screen be removed and replaced? The unit functions fine and I'm assuming that the...

It depends on the model that you have. I may have some replacement screens for that device, but I need to know the exact model number. (DIsto LIte5, Classic5, Classic5A, and DIsto A5) . Leica does not sell these parts, you just need to find someone that has an old unit like yours that still has a good screen. Contact me with the model number and I can let you know if I have any.

Leica disto A3 button broke

Mike,
Leica does not sell replacement keypads, if the unit is less than 2 years old they will cover it under warranty. Contact the dealer you bought it from and they can handle the warranty exchange. If it is over two years old, it is out of warranty, but they offer a "repair" option, which will replace your damaged A3 with a new D3 for about $215. If you bought it from a reputable dealer, you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope this helps,
