Hello, If your dot 4 is not appearing in cell 20, the cell may require looking at by Pulse Data. the reason it is recommended that you bring your BrailleNote to us for Braille display cleaning once a year is that whatever you use to clean it if doing it yourself is likely to get into the circuitry inside the BrailleNote.
To be clear about what my point is, there may be something on the display that is stopping that pin from functioning properly. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me.

PDI updated it to 5.1 built 22 3 weeks ago when I sent it to them for a maintenance. I had a problem in the 20th cells, dot 4 wasn't appearing. I'm waiting for Dean reply to see what might be the cause of this problem.

What version of Keysoft are you running? If you recently upgraded to 5.1, you may have to reinstall Keysoft. I wonder if the version of Keysoft in your BN might be corrupted. I know I had to reinstall Keysoft 5.0 because Keysoft was giving me some problems. My problems disappeared after I had reinstalled Keysoft. If you have a brand new BN with Keysoft 5.1 in ROM, you may have to send it back to PDI for servicing. I sincerely hope you don't have to do that! Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
