Keyboard lock is a possibility, and yeah... But after the resets it's completely dead. One handed mode might have indeed been the issue before, but now it responds to nothing at all. No beeps, no speech, and only braille for a brief second, and even that occurs only after a full service reset. I'm kind of upset seeing as how the unit is less than a month old and I did nothing unusual to it... :( I kind of have to think the firmware got corrupted somehow - can that be reflashed without a working system in any way? It has Keysoft 7.2

Flint; How do you know if it is dead? Is it that it will not take a command? If so, check and see if it is in one handed mode. When it is in this mode, unless you know the right combinations for this mode, the machine will act dead, just like you said. When I ran into this problem, the first time, I almost panicked. One handed mode on; hold down backspace while turning on machine One handed mode off; hold down enter while turning on machine Terry Powers -----Original Message----- From: Rhonda Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 9:30 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: re: [Braillenote] completely DEAD bn!
