BlankI hate to tell this story, but, maybe, it will save someone the same
horrible experience.
I call my BnS "my prosthetic brain", and that is not a joke. I have been
depending on that machine for more than twelve years.
The batteries have been deteriorating for several months. I finally decided
to accept the suggestions of a couple of the members of this list, and I
took it to Batteries Plus to have the batteries replaced.
Before I found an opportunity to go, it occurred to me that I should tell
the technician to connect a power supply to the machine before disconnecting
the batteries. However, when I got to the shop, I was in a hurry, and
forgot to say that.
Yep! When I picked the Braille 'n'' Speak up, it was wiped completely
clean. It can't even talk anymore.
So, ;if you take your BnS to Batteries Plus, or some similar shop,
Please! Please! Remember to tell them to connect a power supply, before
beginning to remove the old batteries.
And, good luck.

P.S. Anyboddy have a Braille 'n' Speak they don't need anymore?
