Hi Les, When you get a transplant, the braille cells from your original unit are put into the MPower case. So what you end up with is a new MPower with your original display.
I had a problem with missing dots recentlly and although it sounds weird, I went into support mode and hit x to exercise the display and then turned the entire unit upside down so the braille cells were facing downward and let it exercise for maybe 1 or two minutes and then stopped. Previous to that I had simply exercised the display for a few minutes but the problem came back. However, after exercising it with the unit upside down, the problem has not returned. The only thing I can figure is that whatever was obstructing the dots was pushed out by the dots pushing out the foreign material apparently permanently. Worth a try!

Now, I do lose dots randomly, but they usually either pop back on their own, or I press the area of the display parallel to the missing dot and it often returns. They are not missing permanently, but I have had intermittnet problems since the transplant was done. While better, it still does occur. I use the advance thumb key a lot, and I do hear a click that doesn't sound normal sometimes, and I then notice a dot missing in a cell. In my case, the pins were replaced, and at one point, one cell was replaced, but the same cell would lose a dot, so in my case, I don't think it's the actual cell itself that is causing the intermittent problem.

As some of you know, when using my BN M-Power, I rely entirely on braille. I know some of you use both braille and speech. Logically, you don't use your braille display for reading and editing as much as I do. My point is that, with the BN Classic, I only had to ask for 1-cell replacemnt. That was done in 2005, when I sent the BN in for a "Transplant." I'm going to need to send the M-Power back, because several cells are missing dots. Has anyone else experienced a problem with the M-Power cells? (I admit to being surprised, because I understood these cells are supposedly better than the ones in the Classic.)
