Does BA repair / service the flip down TV screens on shorthaul aircraft? Not for the first time, the contrast was so poor that the safety video was unwatchable from row 1 and moving map meaningless (this was an A319). Is this something that is checked? I realise there is a move back to the manual demo on the newer Airbus AC but just curious about whether this is checked and if it was found to be defective would BA repair it or just mark the system as INOP until the aircraft is scrapped?

On another note, I was on an A320 recently where instead of reading the manual demo script an audio announcement was played which talked about “portable telephones” being switched off. Just struck me as odd that these are still being used.
