This may not help. But why not take it to a place like Radio Shack Repair. Circuit City Is gone now. But a place that services note book computers may have similar parts or equipment to do the job. If you live near a college or university, Try calling their disabled student services department. You might find that they could have someone who services specialized equipment-or can refer you to someone who does. Sometimes a minor adjustment or application of contact cleaner can do wonders. Who knows? You might be able to give it a second lease on life. One thing for sure, you won't be harming the warrantee, as there is none. If all this fails, you can set it up on a tree stump and take turns shooting at it with a 22. Ok, You can use the 12 gage side by side. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard.Petty To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 6:10 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: Bookport Service Pamela and all, Are there any third party service options? It seems a shame to discard the Bookport if there were some way of repairing it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pamela Rader To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 8:35 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: Bookport Service Richard: Unfortunately, we can no longer service Book Ports. The manufacturer stopped servicing them last summer.

I usually need to press it multiple times to start or stop reading. How can I get my Bookport serviced? Can you give me an idea of what service costs will be?
