Wow, it's amazing that that display has lasted so long with such minimal
repair! I've heard good things about the quality of displays made by
Baum/VisioBraille, but I've never had the opportunity to try one out.
It has had the battery replaced twice, and it has been cleaned twice,
but that is all. I think I had the date wrong: I'm reasonably confident
it was 2005 rather than 2004, but I suppose that makes very little
difference to the over-all story. The display sat unused on a desk for a
number of years, until I found a company that could service it. (As you
may recall, Baum ceased operations in 2018 or so, then VisioBraille
purchased the assets and took over the business.) I finally had the
display repaired, and the main problem was indeed the battery. Cells
also needed considerable cleaning. This is not surprising, since I used
that display for much of the writing and editing of my Ph.D. thesis.
If it fails at any time, I won't complain. The record is excellent as it
stands.
