An unexpected surprise: The black screen

I can laugh at this now but at the time it was a bit embarrassing for me. Yet again, it should not have been, given that I am vision impaired.

I discovered that my screen was black when I used my Aira app to phone an agent in the US to ask them to take an image of a document.  They informed me that the screen was black.  Sure!  Some may say that I should have known but my screen reading software reads what's on the screen no matter if the screen is lit up or not.

So, I had to find a workaround for the Aira agent to help me.  Then I asked my neighbour, Sandra, to verify the black screen for me and sure enough!  It was black!

The matter was solved when my technician, Shane, visited a few days later and fixed the problem.  There was a loose connection to the screen which he rectified.
