I am thinking the same thing, John but there is a lot more going on in this
little machine, I think. I think a chip or circuit has gone out because when
I power the whole thing down the way they tell you to do when you want to
store it, it starts saying ac adapter off battery is critical, so something
reverse is happening here.
What is so uncanny about this is that I had just gotten off the phone from
talking to Humanware about the other Braille Note and breazily said "Oh
Karen, take your time with my Braille Note, I have a perfectly good pk
here!"
As my friend, Judy Lass says, "Don't yell so loud, it might hear you!" and
it sure did.
Well I'm off to make that call to tech support.
I will simply wait until the other machine comes back to send it.

Hi Mary ellen,
wonder if you could try another adapter as this would solve the problem to
what it could be that's gone wrong. This is what I did but I had to send
my pk back. I think they think the main chip has gone down.
it's a good job it's under warranted but this is my point about the whole
pk problem.
you have no battery backup and if the machine locks up we have no flash
card with the software on it to try and get it going again.
I know humanware are doing magic things with the mpower and the like but
with none mainstream stuff it takes time to get these things sorted out.
the technology is so new that it moves so fast maybe too fast but when you
get a lockup you are really stuck.
Humanware uk have been grate with me as I have borrowed a pk from them
otherwise I would be stuck in my work without it but I really feel for you
as you rely on it so much
the annoying thing is it always seems to go wrong on Thursday or Friday
which makes things even more frustrating.
I really wonder when the next upgrade should be out it might solve some
things like the how much power is left as when my pk is fully charged it
says 66 per cent.
hope you get it sorted.
