Hi, The conversion thing is that rectangular box thing in the middle of the adapter cord. This allows a user to use the Apex in different countries by connecting it to different electrical voltage standards - between 100 and 240 volts. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph, What do you mean there is a conversion thing on the adapter cord? I have an Apex. I also used an mPower. Thanks.

Hi, That could be another possibilities. Few things though: * If performing a warm reset does not fix this issue, then we can deduce that it is the hardware problem. * There is a power converter thing on the AC adapter cord. It is used to connect the unit to different electrical socket standards. Perhaps the cable that connects to it has not been plugged firmly (note that Apex's power cord has this too). * As Carol said, perhaps the adapter might not have been plugged firmly to the wall outlet (or an extension cord). Try reinserting the cord and see hwat happens.

It may be that the fault is with the adapter socket and not the adapter itself. If you haven't used this adapter before, you may find you're not pushing it firmly enough into the BN. I certainly found that when we moved to the Apex.

Hi again. I have done every test I can think of, and the adapter on my BrailleNote mPower 7.2 has power to it, but the BrailleNote doesn't recognize that the adapter is plugged in and giving power. The Troubleshooting section of the manual said to make sure that the adapter was powered on. Is there a switch on the adapter that I haven't found yet? How do I make sure that it is "powered on" as the manual says? Thank you for your patience. Linda Adams ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
