Hi Sherry, A similar thing happens with my display sometimes. Every once in a while, it will distort characters, especially those at the end of the display. At the end of the display, the letters are cut off and instead there is a mess of what seem to be random characters. Also, sometimes I will see a mixture of full eight-dot cells and characters across the entire display. I don't know how to fix it but the problem seems to come and go. It seemed to shape up last time it decided to do this (which was a few days ago) after I exercised the Braille display for a few minutes.
