I am thinking about putting new batteries in my Braillenote, but the funny thing is that it was working just fine holding a charge until I did the latest upgrade to the unit, after the upgrade things stopped working ie holding a charge. So my ponder is, it the batteries or did the upgrade do something to the charging system? I talked with bn tech support over the phone several times and they said "It was the batteries." Does anyone have any suggestions? I do not belong to the bn list at this point and time.

Ok, this is an interesting thing I want to bring up. The end off my laptop's AC broke off, and my girlfriend promptly lost it while trying to match it in the store with another one. But, I was wondering. Could somebody wielding that useful implement, a soldering iron, replace it should such a thing happen again? Now for the tip. Any of you with personal note takers such as a braille lite or bns take...well, take note. If you find hte battery no longer holds a charge, take it to a modeling shop that sells model airplane parts. You an buy nicad sells that that will work in the notetaker. The unit has a battery pack, all you need to do is match the five cells and solder them together into the pack and re solder the connection. Best part is, it'll only cost you about 50 or 60 bucks, versus the 200 fs might charge to do exactly the same thing. Just thought yall should know. Robert: doing my good deed!
