Hi Jim
It's still an awful lot of dosh no matter how intricate the procedure. I
wouldn't pay it anyway, I think I would want all its cells replaced for
that! (smile.)
I was only saying to my husband this week how much I use my Braille display
at the PC, perhaps without realising it. I have been loaned an Alva BC680
while mine has been away, and I am so grateful for that because it is an
invaluable tool to me.
My advice to any would-be Braille display user is to ask at the outset what
service and support is offered once the warranty expires. This, in my mind,
is crucial. I have to speak as I find, and say that Optelec have really
looked after me as a customer, and that is what you want when you buy one of
these things.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jim
Blimey that's a large mouthful to swallow! (smile.) I needed my Alva BC680
serviced, and it cost a third of that! I wonder how these people can justify
that cost?

Subject: [access-uk] Device servicing
Hi List,
I'm just looking for some feedback re the servicing of devices.
Yesterday I called Sight and Sound technology regarding the serviceing of my
Focus 80 Braille display.
I was somewhat shocked to find out that if I wanted a full service for this
device it would be in the area of £620 or thereabouts. I quick glance would
cost £75.
I am hoping to sell this device and obviously I want to sell it in the best
codition.
Any thoughts?
