I am dealing with a similar experience. I let my book Sense sit idle
for about a month, and now I can't wake it up. I charged it all day
with the USB port of my computer. It got warm but wouldn't turn
on. So I charged it with the plug-in charger. The little lady told
me brightly that I had disconnected Book Sense from the power cord,
but won't speak the time or turn herself on.
I have removed and restored the battery a number of times, and have
now returned her to the charger because I can't think of what else to
do. I assume removal of the battery is a hard reset, so using the 4
key and whatever else won't make a difference.
I assume there is a way to resurrect Book Sense, but so far the usual
tricks haven't worked.
Suggestions, anyone???
Hi,
I don't usually write to these kinds of topics but I have had a
terrible experience with the Book Sense.
I am a new user and have been so excited to get it. I bought it
after carefully considering where to put the bucks because it is so
expensive. I was determined to get something that would meet my
needs not only now but in the future. Yesterday I had someone help
me get my nls key
straightened out and learned how to download from bookshare and
NLS. Although NLS turned out to be a problem, things were looking up.
A little while ago I tried to download a book from bookshare. It
went very well. When I went to disconnect the bs from the computer
it stopped responding. I waited until I heard the computer say
"Safe to remove hardware" before I disconnected it. When I did
disconnect it everything died. The bs does absolutely nothing
now. It doesn't even speak the time, turn on or off. Let alone
play anything. I'm so upset.
I have tried to reset it several times via hard reset and removal of
batteries. I get nothing. I even tried plugging it in and then
resetting it. Nothing.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions.
I see a lot of people on here talking about returning to their
strream and think that's great if you can afford to do that. But I
put out a lot of money for this and don't have the cash to just say
"Oh well" and go out and buy a Victor Stream now. yt took a lot of
research before I decided to buy it just because of the cash
output. I was hoping this would be something that would work for
me. Now it does nothing. I am so disappointed. Help if you can.
Thanks,
Donna
