In summary: Sell it to someone in person and make sure it's working when they show you.In summary, the person has not used their Voyage for a few months and when they put batteries in it, a column of pixels was blank. They checked 15 minutes later and it was still blank, but after five hours, the pixel column was back. They are questioning what could have caused this and if anyone else has experienced it before. They also mention wanting to sell their calculator, but only if it is not defective. Another person suggests selling it in person and making sure it works before accepting money. The original person responds by saying they believe in being an honest businessman and would not take advantage of someone by selling a defective product.

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.
