The first thing to try is completely removing the battery for a few minutes.
Let us know, at APH, if this corrects the issue.
Thanks.

I am posting the inquiry below for a teacher of the visually impaired:

Has anyone experienced an issue with the battery on their Book Port Plus?  One 
of my students has reported today that her Book Port Plus is not recognizing 
the battery.  She checked the battery status at lunch and it was at 83%.  
Everything was fine.  Then she turned it off and when she went to turn it on an 
hour and a half later, it would not turn on.  She plugged it in when she got 
home and it worked, but when she checked the battery status after 3 hours of 
charging, it said "AC adapted, no battery installed".   The student uses this 
device about 3 hours a day and she charges it every other day.  I do not think 
the battery should not have worn out that quickly.  She has only been using the 
device since February. She can still use the device now, if she has it plugged 
in.

I wanted to try to determine if we just got a bad battery, or if this is 
something else.

Thank you,
