No that is the wierd part. I was sitting on the couch reading a book editing it for Bookshare, and it froze in the middle of a sentence. Which isn't that uncommon with the Classic, with big files, so I figured that was what had happened so tied to hit the reset button like I normally do and nothing. Was plugged in at the time too.
But nope. it has worked fine. Even got a battery change in May and a cleaning. Only thing that wasn't working was two dots in one of the cells wouldn't move, figure it was just getting old. But this is not cool. I have cared as best I can for this thing, and it has traveled the country with me on many plane flights and has done a lot of work for me. but nothing it wasn't designed to handle. Shelley L.

I dropped mine once and it never worked again. battery no longer held a charge, reset on every power-on and a pain. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.
