No input from the > braille keyboard. It's quite frustrating. I know, when mine was deliverd earlier this year it was a DOA. Ik had to wait 3 weeks before an engeneer came a logn to fix it. It was sent by postal delivery and they are sometimes a bit rude with packages so some connection was broken. It was fixed very quickly and works fine ever since. So my guess is that you have a hardware problem and you should call in an engeneer to fix it.
