The console is kind of like a bash shell for linux. I don't know the exact order of resetting but here are some stuff I do:
taking the battery out for either an hour or longer resejting with the reset button Rebooting with star, pound and program 1 Reflashing, with pound on icon and star on brailleplus (unless that's changed)

What is the console, and is it something we shouldn't touch?
What are the various reset commands for the Braille Plus in orderof whichones should be tried first? reset with a stylus, taking out thebattery,then what? Sharon

This is console related stuff and probably shouldn't have beenallowed here.the console is not supported by LevelStar or APH, so thesecommands are notanything you should know about if you're not using the console tooperateyour unit. For those of you who use the console, this is theexact reasonwe do not allow discussion of it on this list--it causesconfusion for thosewho are just using the Icon/Braille + software. Please try toaddress thesethings on the tech list, or if someone has a question regardingthe consolethat you think you want to answer, please address it off list.
Thanks, Jenny

Hello,
I don't know anything about the commands mentioned in theseposts. I think,therefore, that these essoteric commands and the meaning of some obscuffe folders wehave shouldbe explained thoroughly in the manual.
I'm truly amazed at how many of you have figured out some ofthese arcaneitems!

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion... It appears that the Icon now usestheAutomounter for some reason. Also, when I try to umount/media/hdd, itclaims there's no such directory even when there is. Bafflingpiece oftechnology. All I can say is I hope I don't have to turn this thing back inforrepair aain. Best, Zack.

Hi, Zack, I had something similar with my Icon a while back. I was able tofix itby remounting my hard drive from the console. I believe the process wentsomething like:umount /media/hdd mount /media/hdd -o rw
I may have needed to put the /dev location in before"/media/hdd", butI can't recall for sure. After you do this, if disc drive mode works, you mightneed to doa checkdisk command if you're using Windows, or on the Icon itself use fsck, though Idon'tcompletely recall the exact fsck syntax for this.

Hi, Funny as this may sound, I wish this had broken on Thursday. Myclassload is lightest on Thursday and I'd be able to call the eastcoast.Tomorrow, by contrast, I'm pretty busy up until APH and thosefolks arelong gone. I should probably wait, but part of me is curious what solutionsyoucan think of. Ahh, well. Thanks, Zack.

Zack,
I can think of couple of solutions. But, I would highlyrecommend thatyou wait till the morning and give APH a call first thing to seewhtherthey can walk you through exercises to determine what's exactly wrong.

Hi, In my earlier message about this problem I should have said thatI'ddone a reboot and reset, which failed to fix things. I am a moderately experienced Linux user, and my suspicion isthat thehard drive is not mounting correctly. I would hope I don't need to send this unit back in. I literallyjustgot it back from APH today after a bout with hardware issues. Iwaslooking
forward to using it. Thanks, Zack.
