Hi Ian,
 
I think you'll have to get your investigator's hat on an
call RNIB about that one!
 
George.

        Aha!  George, see I've got my finger on the pulse as
ever.  In that case, does anyone know what ever happened to
the mobile phone, PDA thingy they developed and which RNIB
appeared to back so heavily?  Anyone ever use one or still
doing so?  And does this news mean they're now discontinued?
         
        Cheers now.
         
        Ian

                Hi Ian,
                 
                That might be tricky, since Alva went
belly-up a few months ago.  However, PVS should be able to
look after these displays.
                 
                George.

                        Hi Gary,
                         
                        My impression is that whomever you
deal with has to send it back to Alva anyway so you might as
well cut out the middle-person and go straight to them in
Holland.
                         
                        Cheers now.

                        Hi all,
                         
                        Does anyone know who deals with the
servicing of the Alva Braille display these days?
                        I have an Alva series 3 which is now
nearly 12 years old but still works ok apart from that
horrible "wobbly" DC power plug on the back which is causing
intermittent operation.
                        Ideally I would like it replaced,
the plug that is, with something deccent, so it's more a
modification than a straight repair.
                        Grateful for any pointers.
                         
                        Gary
