I have an Apex which has a lot of quirks in my opinon. Anyway, I transferred a lot of files to it via flash drive. I haven't been able to get it to come back on despite trying to reset it and putting it on the charger. I thought it might have died at firs,t as it does not have a great battery life. I would like to get it back up and running without sending it off to HW. I was able to get my Mpower to come back on, but I can't remember exactly what I did. Any suggestions would be great as I need the note taker with the braille display. Thanks a million, Liz ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
