Hi Lou, Its the same here. I was in bed at the time and the BP was on a wooden stand next to the bed. I don't believe that I zapped it though. and the reset command did not work for me either. Thanks for the info.

I've had them lock up the unit on several occasions but usually the 2 plus b reset command takes care of it.

I leaned over to check my battery level and then to start reading my book again. I hit what I thought was my battery level keys D + F and nothing happened. I waited a few seconds and started pressing keys to try getting the BP to say something I tried the 2 key and then the 8 key then the 0 key, still nothing. I waited again then tried the reset keys 2 + B and still nothing. I had to pull one of the batteries for 30 seconds to get the BP working again. Question, what keys near the bottom of the BP could I have pressed to lock up the BP? Did I just press something wrong causing a lockup or what? BTW I was listening to a Audible book if that helps any.
