Hi, Welcome to the list. Unfortunately, the Classic battery is not replaceable by users, unless if you are talking about battery being "dead" as in discharged. In this case, find the AC adapter and connect it to your BN and it should charge it. As far as Classic with 4.0 goes, it really depends on what you want to do. If you want to receive email and browse the net, then you do need either a modem service or using your computer's Internet connection (using a serial cable (NULL modem) and a serial to USB converter) and, as Alex mentioned, a program called Windows Mobile Device Center would be required - but not sure on whether it supports serial now. The USB to parallel converter is mostly used for printing or embossing when you only have USB ports, which the Classic does not. The highest KeySoft version supported by these BrailleNotes is 7.5 with minor revisions. Cheers, Joseph
