Sometimes, the contacks can bend, so maybe they can be straightened. You may
need sighted assistance for this.

While we're on the subject of BP problems, I wish I could get mine to work
again. Something weird happened to the battery compartment—I'm not sure
what—and it won't accept batteries anymore. If you put them in, and close the
battery door, it sounds like they just "flop out"
into the door itself. I'm not really sure what to do about it; it's almost
certainly time to kiss it goodbye, as sad as it is. I really love Double-talk,
and, as you say, Ann, it really makes a tremendous text reader. And, indeed, a
tremendous note taker, as well as an alarm; I used all three of these functions
for years. In a way, I wish APH was still servicing/repairing these things; I
would argue that, even today, the Book Port "classic" is superior to many other
devices.

Good luck! I was reading with my bookPort today. It still is the

they nudge the unit.

Have you tried formatting the card? It would be such a sad thing to
retire a BookPort.

Thank you Pamela for the suggestion. After waiting the 24-hours,
unfortunately, it reacts the same. Looks like it's time to retire
this player, unless you have any other suggestions. Thank you very
much for your assistance over the years.

Hi Rick:
You can try leaving both the battery and flash card out for a full
24 hours.
After 24 hours, put the batteries in without a card and see if it
says "no flash card." If that works, then try the card.

Pamela,
Thank you for getting back with me so quickly. After trying your
suggestion a few times, it is still doing the same thing.
I really am not interested in listening to my Audible library on my
phone, and am wondering what player you would suggest to replace my
poor old Bookport. Unfortunately, I am not really interested in
memorizing a ton of shortcut commands to do numerous things I am not
interested in doing. As long as I know to traverse my titles, set
bookmarks, and the like, I'm good.

Hello Rick:
Try removing the batteries for a few minutes. If the problem
persists, Try holding down 2 plus b while inserting the last battery.
If that doesn't work, then it's probably time to kiss the Book Port
goodbye.

When I push the #2 button on my player, all it says is 189JD. I get
the same reaction when pushing some other buttons, like the help
button. Have never seen this before. I have tried changing memory
cards with no change. I can't reset the unit or reformat it. Any
thoughts will be very appreciated.
Rick
