Yeah, it was plugged in, and clearly charging, since the unit got warm. I was going to give a shot at completely draining the battery manually (plugging a USB fan into the USB port!) and then starting from there. If that fails, it's probably time to call HW, unless anyone else has more suggestions.
This just really seems quite odd; even if the RAM got completely scrambled, the firmware should be in flash and should not have been affected by anything done in normal use.... I in fact had been using the BN only earlier the same day with no issues at all... turned it off, set it aside, and came back a few hours to what I just described. It doesm ake me question the unit's reliability, but I'm willing to try stuff myself to try to fix it before sending it in and struggling through work for a few days...

Hi, this is a simple thing but have you tried plugging it into power? You didn't mention this in your message so I thought I would ask. >From Shaz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flint Million" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 7:16 PM Subject: [Braillenote] completely DEAD bn! Wow, I just write in to talk about the SDK and my BN completely dies! It looks like it might end up going in, but I thought I'd post here just to see if anyone else has seen this: 1. It powered on fine, spoke "Keyword, resuming edit of..." but it would not respond to any keystrokes. Even the Menu key did nothing. 2. Powered unit off and back on. Same thing; it read the resuming message fine but no keys worked. 3. Pressed Reset. Heard one beep. Braille display read "Starting keysoft" About three seconds later... death. 4. No response from standard reset. 5. No response from SDF reset. 6. No response from JKL reset. 7. Upon performing service reset, the display comes alive for about two seconds and reads "starting keysoft" but then the unit again dies. So clearly it's not *completely* dead, but something's very wrong. Haven't done anything odd lately, just using it in day-to-day wordprocessing and planning. Is this unit terminally ill?
