My M6II gets ghost clicks on the front dial, I can 'fix' it for a few weeks by spinning for a minute or 2, but it comes back after a while. The clicks are always down, so in M mode the shutter will end up in bulb mode if I don't pay attention.

So anything that reacts to the front wheel can get changed, which is why I don't trust this camera anymore. The store where I bought it said "That's a software problem, no warranty, sucks to be you!", so I'm eagerly awaiting a new model getting announced that has eye-AF in servo mode and charges over USB-C PD.

This may be an easy fix.

If my M6II starts doing it I will find out.

I could be the first person to make a M6II tear down video.

My thoughts were trying some compressed air while spinning it. In the past I would've used contact spray, but that has become hard to get here in Europe, I bet the magic ingredient turned out to be not so healthy for humans

Your suggestion of using IPA is also a good one, thanks for that!
