Ottawa Canada Dear Janel and list:
While places like Radio Shack or Batteries Are Us do sell and install batteries for various kinds of equipment, having them replace the battery on a BrailleNote is not recommended. They may do a good job or they may screw up and damage your unit beyond repair! And them trying to work on the unit will void your warranty. Also, while your unit is in for battery replacement, Humanware has an opportunity to check it over, clean the Braille display etc and keep your unit in top working order. So your counsellor is right, there are other places that may be able to replace the unit's battery, but do you really want to entrust your unit to someone who isn't thoroughly experienced at working on it? If your unit gets damaged, it may be very expensive or take quite some time to repair it. I don't think its worth the risk to have it worked on elsewhere. Brian Brian K.
