Hi Michael:
I've reflashed my braille plus unit several times, (not for fun I assure
you.)
Anyway.) I assume that with the reflash one loses any software updates that
one has added
to the unit. So how does one recover these? From my last reflash, I tried
getting an
update and received the message that no updates were currently available.
It's as if the
update feature didn't acknowledge that an update was needed. after the last
reflash.
