Hi all,

I haven't used my Voyage for a few months. It has not had batteries in it during that time. Today I put batteries in it and a column of pixels was blank. I checked 15 minutes later and it was still blank. Now, five hours later, I checked it again and the pixel column is back! What gives? Has anyone seen this before? I want to sell my calc, but not if it's defective.

Thanks!
Sam

What do you mean you won't sell if it's not defective. Sell it to someone in person and make sure it's working when they show you. Take the money and call them a sucker and leave.

Because honest businessmen, as rare as they are, still exist.
