At first, there was a slight recovery in minor parts. But then there was no more progress. Like I was unable to enter the full date, always just the day and month. So I finally quit about ten days ago.Just by sheer luck (I think) I found a new replacement that had only been used for first trials, with most accessories not even out of their wrapping.Meanwhile, I realize there might be more such gems around if one keeps searching.</blockquote>
