Dennis, I have had similar occurrences with Version 4.01 and 4.02. I have found that a reset often helps. If not, I exercise the Braille display by pressing space with O, then space with I to go to "Support Information Mode." Then I press X, which exercises the display, and when I exit this with space with E, the display seems to work fine.
It might be worth a try. Let me know if you ahve further questions. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Freedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 12:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Braillenote] Braille display not working properly Hello I am fairly certain I will have to return my BN but I thought I'd give it a shot to the list in case there is something I can do. After using my BN (with KeySoft ver 5) I realised the battery needed charging and switched off. When plugged into the mains supply, the Braille display only showed very, very faintly - almost ghost dots. Having left the BN on charge for some hours the problem still persits - when exercising the display I can just feel the rows of dots or 6-dot block moving across the display, that's all. All other functions appear ok, although the file I was working on initially on battery power was not saved, and on switch on I had to reset a couple of times as the storage card was not recognized. Fortunately all my files are still intact. As an asside, and with apologies as I know this has been covered before, before sending the unit away unless I get some hints from users, can someone pass on 'correct' voltages and charge/discharge values so I can be certain the battery hasn't gone below a useable threshold - I doubt this as the unit works fine with speech. I've had the unit for about 18 months now. Any help welcomed.
