Same here.
I had two of them and they were my workhorses for years. I remember an issue with dust in the ISO selector and one bar failing in the speed display.
But they never bricked and were reliable.
I'm sure there are lots of fully functional M7s, obviously. My friends experience was from working in a large used camera retailer and he described them as unreliable. It doesn't mean that all of them broke at the same time he said that.
