Peter: I would try removing the batteries and the flash card, then reinsert the batteries without the card to see if you get any speech. If you don't get any speech, the unit likely needs to be repaired. >>> pmcliff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/14/05 07:38PM >>> Hi everyone I was transferring a file from the PC to the bookport when the batteries drained. Since then I haven't been able to get the bookport operational again. I have tried new batteries and attempted to reset the bookport. I would appreciate any suggestion from here. Regards Peter
