Hi Kerri, Try reducing the display intensity (go to Options/Braille Display/Display Intensity, then choose 3 or lower). Cheers, Joseph

When I got my new M power last July, they just transplanted my old classic's display since I was going to keep doing the 32 cell bn. Well, in January or so, I began having problems with one of the pins in a cell doing a strange vibrating. It almost sounds like a rattlesnake. lol It does not happen when the display is exercised but it does it when I'm typing and the pins are accommodating my letters, etc. Anyway, I was in school in January so I waited till late September to get it fixed. They replaced the cell with a new one and fixed an unrelated battery problem and upgraded me to 7.5, and I got it back in a very short time, which I was very impressed with. Now, after a week, it started doing it again, but I think it's a different cell, the one right next to the one that was damaged before. I'm not blaming anyone, because no one had any idea that it could have happened again. I am frustrated though, because I just got the thing back and now I have to send it in again if I want to be able to read with my display. Thank goodness I'm not in college and I have graduated, because I needed that display in school and it was very hard not having it. I just keep the speech on and the braille off unless absolutely necessary, because it drives me up the wall hearing and feeling that weird vibrating sensation and listening to the snake rattling. lol Is it a safe assumption that this could happen a third time if I don't ask my agency to pay for the entire display to be replaced? I know that is costly, but I think it would be more economical and cost-effective if we ship it once to California, have the whole thing replaced, and ship it back to Texas once, instead of shipping it back and forth hoping that each time, a new cell won't starting malfunctioning. Has anyone ever experienced this weird vibrating? What do you all think about replacing the entire thing? Is that upwards of $1000 or so?
