chenault Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I talked to a person from Leupold a couple months ago and they said that they were working on a fix for the DPP issue. Does anyone know when this is supposed to happen? I've gone through two brand new ones this month. Same issue as all the others. The contact slips with it's sticker so the battery can't make contact anymore. I've also noticed that the DPP is sold out from most places, makes me wonder if they are about to release the ones with the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 In April I sent my first DPP in for repair. Leupold replaced the board, no mention of battery contact. I reinstalled the repaired DPP and put about 3,000 rounds through it before the dot started fading and disappear while shooting. Turns out the battery contact was slipping. I sent the dot back to Leupold for repair. They received the dot June 29th and July 2nd I received a shipping notification. I don’t know if the dot was repaired or replaced. I’ll find out next Tuesday when I get it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenault Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 When you do look and see if they are still using a sticker to hold on the battery contact. This is driving me nuts; my pistol is milled to the DPP so I can't switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I’ll follow up Tuesday when the new/repaired dot arrives. I’m very curious what is coming.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenault Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'd really like to see how they are changing the boards. I wouldn't think it would be that hard, just secure the connectors with something other than a sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenault Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Still look like it’s held in with a sticker, is it also soldered on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayBuster Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I gave up on the DPP’s, yes the RMR window sucks but my Type 1 is still going strong three years and thousands of rounds later. I do have a 5moa SRO on order though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Units with AB, AC and AD are safest. AF units have the small decal which is causing reliability issues, and AE units are hit and miss. That's good news. Mine has an "AD" serial number and so far, so good after about 1000 9 mm minor rounds on an M&P 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregJ Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Following. I have an AD mounted on my CZ S2 now, and an AE spare. Between the two, they have been back 4 times. I havent calculated rounds-before-failure yet, as one was good for over year. Now it seems as if I cant get more than 6 mths before a failure. I just got the AE back a few weeks ago, they replaced the circuit board with the old style. Very interested to see when they fully incorporate the new style circuit board in repairs.

During practice yest afternoon I thought about this. It is very easy to really heat a gun up during a practice session, especially if you're running a hot powder like TG. That heat could cause the tape to loose some adhesion, thus allowing the contact to slip on the CB. I use W231, which isnt too hot, and typically shoot 300 rnds in an hour + session. I will try slowing down some and letting it cool off a little more between mag loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringram Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ill send mine off when the new board is being installed for repair. The old sticker ones kind of work if you check regularly enough to recenter the contact before it slides totally off centre and cuts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiflyer51 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I sent a DDP back for repair recently. They received it on Jul 2, and sent it back Jul 3!! I received it Jul 10. They replaced the circuit board. I just spoke to their tech support. He said they have a fix on the circuit board / loose battery contact problem and that all repairs done as of a few weeks ago will have the updated circuit board.

eboadway Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) About 600 minor 9mm rounds into it and the dot cut out. Ugh. Will they repair with an updated version at this point? Edited July 25, 2019 by eboadway updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 This is what my DPP did. Leupold repaired it quickly. Turn around was 3 days after they received it. I have about 600 rounds on it now.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
