Not hearing something from Flusoft, I suppose they didn’t hear anything from whomever they wrote, anyway, with not much hope I took the display out of the packaging and started fiddling with it. I was at a standstill till my wife Eva came up with an idea. She conjectured that there may not be any software on the display, so I downloaded the Windows utility for it. I also tried reinstalling the boot loader but that didn’t work. The good news is, the display is working again! I’m so relieved!
The support page said that it’s important not to put the wrong software on the display, but it can be restored by putting the correct one on again, so, yes I did!
Incidentally, I’d put it in the packaging thinking I’d have to send it back, but that obviously ain’t necessary now!
For some reason, the battery wasn’t charging properly, so I took it out and put it back in again, and I must’ve done it right this time. I was thinking I’d put it in the wrong way but it only goes in one way, so I suppose the connector just wasn’t seated correctly. Anyhow, I have a working Orbit Reader, and I’ll stick with it, not try to get it upgraded, which is probably hard to impossible in Germany.
nice
This was actually clearly stated in post 1.
A Braille display. Mine being the Orbit Reader 20 has 20 cells of Braille.
Nice news What is an orbit reader?
Well, no one sent my wife anything, and getting the wrong file was strictly my fault. No lasting harm done in this case.
no no, I understand. I just wantedto say that every file should bbe thoroughly checked before it’s being processed, eitherby a human or a machine.
Um, no one sent anything to my wife. It was me who foolishly tried to upgrade the unit from the 20 to the 20 plus. The device is fully functional now, so I learned a valuable lesson.
Again, I don’t know who the hell works in their software design department. No matter whether you send a photo to your wife, a document to an office or any other file you check it. Even so if it’s a BIOS binary file.
