Hi,
If the adapter's getting warm, then you may have a short in the adapter
cable somewhere. One way to find out for sure, if you're not nervous about
such things, is to give it the old tongue test. Just place the tip of the
adapter on your tongue for a fraction of a second, like you would with the
terminals on those flat 9-volt batteries. You'll get a bit of a jolt, but it
won't harm you, nor will it harm the adapter. .
BTW, the adapter for the Apex gives a low enough voltage that the tongue
test doesn't work.

Subject: [Braillenote] BrailleNote Not Recognizing the AC Adapter
Hi, everyone. I have been charging my BrailleNote mPower 7.2 without
problems until yesterday. Then the unit didn't turn on and show the message
"AC Adapter on" as it usually does when I plug it in, and the unit isn't
getting warm. When I check all the information on the battery status, the
messages don't indicate that the battery needs to be reconditioned or
recalibrated. I have had a notetaker for 15 years, and whenever its battery
was worn out, it simply wouldn't hold a charge for more than an hour, but
this BrailleNote simply isn't recognizing that it has an adapted plugged
into it. The adapter is getting a little warm, so power is getting to it.
Any thoughts?
Thank you for your help.
Linda Adams
