Well, my concern now isn't so much about the 7.1 upgrade, I can manage without it as I don't have the really concerning battery issues, I get amazingly good battery life in fact, and I can deal with the download issues and don't set many alarms any longer, but my concern is that since I cannot do this particular upgrade now, I may not be able to do future upgrades either.
By the way, to HumanWare staff, when I do the 4,6 or 4,5 reset the version I get is 1.8 on the 32 display and the version I get on the 18-cell is 1.6. Then I get the SD card error whether I select boot loader or update from the resulting menu. This may be helpful too.

All three cards are readable on the BN as well as the computer? Yes, I know, I am bugging you Jonathan , but I am not the only person having my problems. I still have a hunch it relates to something that did not go right with the bootloader, as nothing happened when I installed 7 and used the 1-2 with the reset button as the instructions on the web site and in my package later seemed to tell me to do. Anyone else having the problems, especially the SD card error, did you also have a problem with the boot file in January or whenever you did 7. At the time since the installation went without a hitch I thought nothing of it but hindsight tells me this may be where the problem could exist. I am not a programmer, just tossing it out there to see if maybe I can intuit my way to helping get a solution--as this seems to be something I have done in the past at work and at home. It may be worth a though at least.

HumanWare did send a bunch of these out and we apologise for this. When the unit goes dead like that, it suggests that the SD card is formatted with FAT 32, not FAT 16 as is necessary. We did post a message about this when we discovered the error a few months back, but if you had already installed, it may not have been important to you at the time. So if you run the Prepare SD card for upgrade utility on this card, you should find it works just fine. Hope this helps. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
