Not really bad news! But just unexpected. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Lingard Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 11:04 AM To: BrailleNote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Cleaning the Brail note and cost
Ottawa Canada Dear James and list: Well I suppose you could look around for someone else to clean the display of your BrailleNote and replace the battery, but your results will depend upon how familiar they are with working with a whole bunch of little precision parts as found in the Braille display. If they do something that causes damage to your BrailleNote you could be out many times the cost of sending it to Humanware in the first place. Are the prices you quoted normal? Well they seem to be with Humanware. You mentioned about the cost of an upgrade. Well that is really a separate thing from hardware maintenance like cleaning of the display and replacing the battery. So is an extended warranty, I take it you are referring to the Hardware Maintenance Agreement Humanware offers. You also mentioned about parts. Well usually when you send your unit in for cleaning and battery replacement no additional parts are required. Yes, owning a Braille PDA and keeping its display clean and in good working order and the software up-to-date can get expensive. Sorry for the bad news. Brian Brian K.
