[icon-discuss] Re: Braille Plus Wireless Problem

Hello:

A Reset, does just as the name of the function implies:  it resets the machine. 
 When Resetting, you will have to reset your clock, but all of your other 
settings will remain intact.

A Reflash, takes the unit back to its Factory Defaults and is sometimes 
necessary to restore the unit.  A Reflash will not lose files on the hard 
drive, but it does erase flash files, since you're going back to the factory 
Defaults.  To eliminate this, you can do a backup with 6, 7 first, if there's 
anything you want to preserve.

Hope that helps!

What is the difference between a reflash and a reset?
I have never had any serious problems with my unit, so I have never really
wondered about these things, but I would like to know just encase I need to.

Yes, he tried to get you to do a reboot.  I want you to do a reset, using
the reset button in the battery compartment door.  Instead of holding down
the star key with it as you do to reflash, simply press the reset button in
by itself with a pen or something for about 5 seconds and let go.

What he tried to get me to do was a "restart" but the key combinations he
said didn't work.

Do a reset before you reflash.

Richard,
 
Holding star, pound, and program key to the left of the applications bar
didn't work. I also tried star and key to the left of the apps bar as well
as pound and the key to the left of the apps bar and none of these worked.
 
Thanks,

Hi James,

 

First, just try a re-start by holding down the star and the pound key, then
when you press down on the Program 1 key, release all three at once.

The program 1 key is the round key to the left of the application menu.

 

That will do a re-start then,

Make sure the Wireless is turned on by using the network manager or the
program 2 key.

 

I'm assuming you are broadcasting your router signal.

 

Are you using any security like WEP or WPA?

If not, you are open to anyone hopping onto your network and possibly
gaining access to your computer.

 

If that doesn't work, try calling APH and seeing if they can walk you
through anything else that would be helpful.

 

Best of luck,

Richard

Subject: [icon-discuss] Braille Plus Wireless Problem

 

Hi all,

 

My Braille Plus is doing yet more strange things. This time, it's the
wireless. Right now my wireless is off according to the network manager.
According to my status menu, however, it says, "Wireless on. Connected to
off slash any. Signal Strength: fare." When I turn the wireless on, however,
it says searching for wireless networks, and finds none, even though my
computer is finding it and getting an excellent signal strength reading. It
doesn't even find it when I stand right next to the router itself, and
Sunday it was working just fine even if I was all the way across the house
from the router. This problem started when I got home yesterday. I have a
feeling that yet another reflash is in order, but I'm afraid if I do that
and it doesn't fix my problem, I'm going to be stuck using 1.05, which I
really do not want to do.

 

Thanks for any assistance,

 

 

James in TN
