Hi Guys,
So lately my BrailleNote has been locking up a good deal. By this I mean
no keystrokes have any effect whatsoever, and even when I turn the machine
off, the display continues displaying what it previously had on it. No
amount of switching on and off unlocks the BN at first, but usually after I
plug it in and switch it on and off a few more times, it automatically hard
resets and asks me to reset the clock. Obviously, I've tried pushing reset
to unlock it, but it's like it doesn't notice me pressing Reset at all.
Then, once I finally reset everything and all that good stuff, unplug the BN
and use it for awhile, it locks up again. It usually locks up, strangely,
whenI pick it up and start to walk somewhere with it on. Is soemthign loose
inside, possibly? Is my reset button loose, maybe? Could my battery be shot
or something? I don't think it's that, just because, as i said, when i plug
it in, it doesn't respond instantaneously and come back to life like it
does when the battery dies. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm
going back to school tomorrow and kind of need the BN to be behaving. I'd
hate to send it in, but if I have to, I live fairly close to the BN
Workplace, so I could. I was also wondering if, when and if I do bring my BN
in for service, i could get one loaned to me, as I'm in school and I really,
really need one with me in class, as I don't want to use a Perkins, and I
won't have access to my notes or anything. I don't really care what kind of
BrailleNote it I get, as long as it's a BT, because I have no clue how to
use a QT. But hey, if I was given a PK or mPower to play with, that's just
fine and dandy with me. Grin. SO if any of you have an idea on how the loan
policy or lack thereof works, that would be good for me to know.
Thanks again for any help.
Cheers,
Caitlin
