Hi Lisa, I've used the exercise the Braille display feature on occasion. It hasn't broken my display. I don't know if it's fixed it necessarily either. If it did break it, however, I'd argue that if the exercise feature did it, then it was the manufacturer's fault for including that feature. If Humanware really does discourage the use of that feature, which they've built in to their product, then maybe they should make it inaccessible, or put in an explicit warning so that we don't get ourselves in to trouble. I'm guessing it isn't something you should just do for fun, but I doubt you'll hurt your display by running that feature for a short period of time, maybe thirty seconds or a minute.
If I'm wrong, Dean or Jonathan, please speak up and let us all know. Thanks!

I have never exercised my displays on the braillenote or otherwise and I use them extensively! I leave this kind of thing up to the professional. I can assure you that if you break this display by trying to self-repair, it is going to take a long, long time to get it fixed properly. It's your choice.
