Hi Alana,
Several months ago I had a braille-display problem a lot like the
one your experienceing. It started out like that and then the
display would come and go. It finally stopped working
altogether. I had to send my Unit in for repairs. I had never
had this happen before and it came on suddenly.
I'm sure someone more knoligeable than I would be able to help
you better. I just wanted to let you know that someone else has
experienced the same type of trouble.
Have a Blessed Sunday.
Sincerely,
Penny

Subject: [Braillenote] Braille display breaking down
Hi List,
Can anyone please tell me what is possiblely going on with my
braille display?
Tonight I turned on my Bn and the Bn said,
"Main menu."
I pressed a thumb key by accident and the Bn said,
"Wordprocessor."
I had both speech and the display on at the same time. The
braille display had all these symbols for the grade 2 contraction
"For." I kept pressing the thumb key (which was the advance key)
and checked the display. Sometimes the display was ok. I turned
the Bn off, then on again. The display said "Main menu." I
pressed the advanced thumb key again to see what would happen
with the display. I had a dot 4 and w as part of the word
"Wordprocessor."
Instead of the letter p appearing on the display I had an m
appearing on the display. The interesting thing was that the dot
3 on the m was going down so I had dots 1-4 and the rest of the
word "wordprocessor" on the displayddI hope I am making sense
here. I gave it a reset. That didn't fix the problem.
Actually, I gave the display a clean with a dry cloth before I
pressed the reset button. I tried a 1-2-3 reset, but that didn't
work either. Next I tried a 4-5-6 reset. That also didn't work.
I tried to exercise the display. The display didn't exercise
properly because the cs didn't come up. Instead dots 1 to 6 were
up. I went back to the main menu. I turned the Bn off, then on
again. When I pressed the advance thumb key again the speech
said "wordprocessor" and the the grade 2 contraction for the word
"for" came up again. The cells were in some groups and the
groups were gapped. Amongst these cells were some qs I think.
I turned the braille display on and off. I also turned the unit
off and on. I went to the item wordprocessor. This time I had
the grade 2 st symbol instead of the dots 4-5 as part of the word
"wordprocessor." I waited to find out what would happen. After
what seemed like a few seconds the dot 3 of that symbol went down
and I was left with the dot 4 as part of that word. This time I
turned the Bn off for a few minutes (i think) and tried it again.
I think I still had a few problems. For now the display works,
but I just wanted to know what was going on. The problem I have
described above, has been experienced in all of the cells on the
display.
I appreciate any help anyone can give on this matter.
Thanks,
Alana
