David,
The noise of the display is quite disconcerting, although there is a way
to
control the noise: through braille display intensity.

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!
Don

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.

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
