Hi all, Well, it had to happen to us, just three days after our BrailleNote arrived, after considerable use, the battery went down to a "Battery Low" state as we were reading an item from the manual . . .. (That was the first time we'd heard it.) Within a second or two, we heard a strange noise (a little like the speech skating across the text) and then everything went dead. We plugged in the power, left it for a little while but still we heard no message. . . .. We tried all three resets. NOTHING! I tried a couple more times - with no response . . .. Then we both left it for a while, to think what we wanted to do next. Mike decided to plug in the power cord again. This time he wiggled it about in the socket a little, well, pushed it in rather firmly - there was a beep and things sprang back into life!
This isn't quite what we expected to happen at the first "Battery low" warning, but we're not particularly bothered and only glad that we don't have to send it back, as we had envisaged. Now for some questions: 1) As we had the "Help" open at the time, are we likely to have lost anything vital, or will the "resets" have fixed that? 2) I'd be grateful for a further explanation of these resets - what each one actually does by way of restoration and what we stand to lose when using them. (I find I haven't taken in the manual explanation on this one.) Finally, when the battery begins to go down again, are there any steps we should follow that perhaps we missed out on this time around? We're just so glad our mPower is "empowered again" (excuse the pun)! <SMILE> -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED]
