Tom; Why would not Doors cover for an M-power for Crista? Crista, have you contacted the NFB for help. Let them know you need it to function in school. Doors, CAP for students or the NFB should be able to help you. As someone said today, you might even be able to get a demo unit if all else does not work. Do not give up. I would talk to HW and see if they would look over the unit for free or for a small amout. Explain your situation. Don't just depend on the word of one person. He could be wrong and it might be something small that could solve your problem. Some times just a battery can cause a lot of problems. Good luck.

The old one isn't even worth reconditioning and transplanting, because the Braille display wouldn't be of any real use being that it's not functional, according to my technology instructor. I may be out of line here, but I doubt it. Frankly, I don't think that your technology instructor can make that determination. It could be that back panels on the unit's main board have failed, rendering the Braille display unusable. It's my understanding that before Humanware proceeds with a transplant, they test the display to see if it is really faulty. So, if you can, ship it up to Humanware and let them determine whether a transplant is feasible. . Tom ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
