[Reader-users] help re-calibrating reader?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Ed;
Are you coming to the Washington seminar?  Jim G's partner said he would
be their.  Maybe you can try someone elses chord and determine if it is
the chord or a defect in the plug on the PDA.

Ed:

The question here is what exactly is coming unplugged.  Is it the cord
that goes into the wall, the end that goes to or from the power brick,
or the plug that connects directly to the camera.  If it is the first,
the wall, then that is a problem on your end.  If it is the second, the
power brick, then you could either try a new cord that fits better, or
wrap a little tape around the end of the cord, where it goes into the
power brick * to make it fit tighter.  If it is the cord that goes into
the Reader, then something may be off in your camera  * the jack, or you
might be able to take care of this with very careful placement of the
cord, and camera when charging.  It may be necessary to trap the cord or
to do something to prevent it or the camera from being moved.

When I had a beta unit * it, the connection, seemed a little loose to
me, but if I was careful, it seemed to charge ok.

Cindy, the problem I have with the reader is that the power cord will
not stay plugged in. I left it plugged in when I went on a trip, and
when I got home I found that it had unplugged and was dead. Ed Meskys
