Mark has it pretty much, toss in the keyboard switches go bad as well,
and even the assembly quality was poor.

The product was quite the low point for ESI and basically the end of
their instrument line. A friend
worked at ESI on their laser trimmer products and did not have many
good things to say about
their design follow through.
