your best bet would be to bye a new unit with the new cursor buttons.
The m power doesn't have thoughs rubber touch keys they've been replaced
with nice push buttons made of plastic.

Are there any cons to transplanting especially with the rubber cursor
display. I'm either considering transplant or buying a full unit.

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!

Hi Kc,
Actually, I thought the cells were the same as the unit was transplanted.
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.

Subject: [Braillenote] Braille cells on the M-Power QT Display
Hello everyone, this is KC Spear.
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.)
KC
