Joseph; When I went into utilities, options and r The unit did not talk the whole time. I am trying to get my braille display to come back to life. I think it said calibration complete. This was 3 weeks ago.

First, fully charge the unit, as you've described. Then use your BrailleNote on battery until the unit turns of (ignore the critical warning). After this is done, recharge the BrailleNote for at least two hours. With this setup, I expect the whole process to take no more than a day (around 10 to 15 hours). As for using speech and/or Braille, it's really up to you. The whole point of recalibration is to simulate unit usage from full battery charge until the battery is drained. If you elect to use Support Information Mode method, then I suggest using both speech and Braille (around volume 1 for speech). Hope this helps...

I recently got my BrailleNote MPower BT 32 repaired and reconditioned, and I am just starting to have questions. When I got the unit back, I got a message that the battery was critical. I immediately plugged in and got it recharged. What puzzled me is the I got "battery needs recondtioning" or whatever the wording is. I am now running the calabration routine. I am wondering how long this usually takes. Usually, the battery get to 100% after a couple of hours or less. However, when I started charging it this after noon, It said it had been charging since yesterday, and it took probably 3 to four hours before running down started. I am also wondering if both the voice and braille need to be running for this process to work properly. Thanks in advance for any info.
