That's why I did say:
"I wish they could do  a Braille display that one could personally
Replace the pins  as and when necessary."

I wish!

It is extremely fiddly even for sighted people to replace pins on a Braille
display.  It is not the sort of thing I would think most blind user's would
want to take on assuming it were possible.  The main job displays require is
cleaning on an ongoing basis, but Braille cells on these devices generally
are small and very delicate.

Hi Derek

It's enormously expensive to own a Braille display.  It would be great to be
able to fix the cells yourself and, no matter how careful you are with them,
you can be unlucky sometimes.

Hi  Jackie
I have only used  a versa  Braille then  a power  Braille and Braille note.
I wish they could do  a Braille display that one could personally Replace
the pins  as and when necessary.

As you  know, the pins tend not stay  as  high as new.

But I  guess the companies prefer  to see  the displays coming b  back, As
then more  money  in terms of  servicing!

Hi Niamh

It really depends on what you feel comfortable with and, of course, what you
can afford! I used to use a Bookworm, and it only had eight cells, but I
still whistled through a fair amount of Braille on it.  In fact, I took it
into hospital with me when I had back surgery, and it was the best thing I
had at the time as it was so small and easy to read lying in the position I
was.

You do get used to small displays, it just means you have to keep advancing
the cells as you've got less per line to work with.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns
