[Reader-users] My reader will not turn on

[Chris Meredith]

Ah!  So you *DO* need to realign the screen when doing a hard reset of the PDA.  Is there a provider other than Mobile Planet that sells a cradle for this PDA, as I have a registry hack that will align the screen without sighted help, but it requires ActiveSync (WMDC under Vista) and access to the system registry to get the alignment info from initially?  Fortunately for me, Windows Mobile defaults to Pacific time.

Don't remember now but they are quite brief. Basically what happens is that a sighted person touches all four corners of the screen, following a symbol around the screen. When the PDA gives this the okay, the system asks the sighted person for the time zone. When this is entered, it may ask for the time (I forget). When this is done, it says the PDA is ready for use. However, this is means that it is ready as a normal PDA. At this point, stick in the SD card with the Reader software and you will hear appropriate messages telling you that the Reader software is being loaded into the PDA.

  You'll probably need to get a sighted person help you recalibrate the
  Reader. Instructions are in he manual.

    Hi List,

    Somehow the plug where I charge my reader went bad and subsequently,
  even
    though I have charged the unit fully, I can not get any sound from it.
    Please tell me what I need to do.

    Thank you,
