Thanks Filark

I had read those threads prior to posting but re-calibration did not change the blank area just moved it up a bit. I tried different writing angles and pressures but no go I am afraid.
As for the work around by the rectangle selection tool, this works well so the screen area is functional but doesn't register when you write!
My biggest worry is if I go back to dingo will the writer function work again, I haven't seen anybody reporting back on that issue. If I have lost the writer function permanently then I will stay in Ermine but if dingo works again then that is my solution.

I suspect the in an effort to same battery life and functioning power the development team streamlined the voltage settings for the operation of the different components and for a certain configuration of boards, chips and screens they over did it. hence the hibernation issue and maybe even the annotation issue on the reader, if there is not enough voltage being allocated to the hardware then it will just not function properly.
Since there are probably 5 -6 different hardware configurations out there, Ermine must have been tested only on some of them. Hence the problems with some systems and not others

best regards
