Hi Andrew
I did do this, but it still had no effect. So it is now being packed up ready 
to go back to the RNIB.

Thanks.

  Hi Brian,

   

  Just realised I gave you slightly incorrect advice.  You need to hold down 
the play/eject keys and not the eject key as I told you before.  It should asy 
something like profile removed.

   

  Andrew.

  Hi,

   

  It sounds like a hardware issue.

  Hi Andrew

  Thanks for your message.

  I held down the eject while switching it on.

  Then I updated to the latest firmware, but it will not move past the opening 
announcements because it thinks the power is not connected.

    Hi,You need to do

     

    Two things:

     

      1.. Switch off the unit, and hold down the eject button whilst switching 
it on.  It will do a full factory reset. 
     

      2.. Update to the latest firmware - not sure what version the UK prompts 
are on, last time I checked the US version was newer than the UK version. 
     

    Thanks.

    Andrew.

    Hi

     

    The RNIB talking book service have just sent me a new Victor Reader Classic 
which arrived yesterday.  There is something strange going on, and I wondered 
if anyone had had this problem.  Of course I can call the RNIB on Monday but if 
this can be remedied by a firmware update or something like that, then I can do 
that.

     

    It seems as though the machine is not recognising mains power.  If I 
connect the adapter to the product, and hold down the top lefthand key, I am 
advised that battery power is enabled.  This came to my attention because I was 
listening to a book yesterday evening, and the machine kept saying "mains power 
on mains power off", the second announcement immediately preceeding the first.  

     

    However, if I leave the machine connected to the electricity for a few 
hours, then disconnect it, I can get a good couple of hours out of the battery 
without any problem, indicating that it may have been charged.

    As I say, has anyone else had this problem please?
