You press star+pound+program one and leave the battery in.

The console is kind of like a bash shell for linux.  I don't know
the exact order of resetting but here are some stuff I do:

taking the battery out for either an hour or longer
resejting with the reset button
Rebooting with star, pound and program 1
Reflashing, with pound on icon and star on brailleplus (unless
that's changed)

What is the console, and is it something we shouldn't touch?

What are the various reset commands for the Braille Plus in order
of which
ones should be tried first? reset with a stylus, taking out the
battery,
then what?

This is console related stuff and probably shouldn't have been
allowed here.
the console is not supported by LevelStar or APH, so these
commands are not
anything you should know about if you're not using the console to
operate
your unit.  For those of you who use the console, this is the
exact reason
we do not allow discussion of it on this list--it causes
confusion for those
who are just using the Icon/Braille + software.  Please try to
address these
things on the tech list, or if someone has a question regarding
the console
that you think you want to answer, please address it off list.

Thanks,
Jenny

Hello,

I don't know anything about the commands mentioned in these
posts.  I think,
therefore, that these
essoteric commands and the meaning of some obscuffe folders we
have should
be explained thoroughly in
the manual.

I'm truly amazed at how many of you have figured out some of
these arcane
items!

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion...  It appears that the Icon now uses
the
Automounter for some reason.  Also, when I try to umount
/media/hdd, it
claims there's no such directory even when there is.  Baffling
piece of
technology.
All I can say is I hope I don't have to turn this thing back in
for
repair aain.
Best,
Zack.

Hi, Zack,
I had something similar with my Icon a while back.  I was able to
fix it
by
remounting my
hard drive from the console.  I believe the process went
something like:
umount /media/hdd
mount /media/hdd -o rw

I may have needed to put the /dev location in before
"/media/hdd", but
I
can't recall for
sure.  After you do this, if disc drive mode works, you might
need to do
a
checkdisk command if
you're using Windows, or on the Icon itself use fsck, though I
don't
completely
recall the exact fsck syntax for this.

HTH,
Terrence

Hi,
Funny as this may sound, I wish this had broken on Thursday.  My
class
load is lightest on Thursday and I'd be able to call the east
coast.
Tomorrow, by contrast, I'm pretty busy up until APH and those
folks are
long
gone.
I should probably wait, but part of me is curious what solutions
you
can
think of.  Ahh, well.
Thanks,
Zack.

Zack,

I can think of couple of solutions.  But, I would highly
recommend that
you
wait till the morning and give APH a call first thing to see
whther
they
can
walk you through exercises to determine what's exactly wrong.

Hi,
In my earlier message about this problem I should have said that
I'd
done a reboot and reset, which failed to fix things.
I am a moderately experienced Linux user, and my suspicion is
that the
hard drive is not mounting correctly.
I would hope I don't need to send this unit back in.  I literally
just
got it back from APH today after a bout with hardware issues.  I
was
looking

forward to using it.
Thanks,
Zack.
