[nabs-l] Regarding Braille Note Issues And French Accented Letters on Laptop

Hi Rilind,
I do not know much about French, because I have only taken Spanish. But in my experience, the "restoring partition" message is very concerning. My Apex displayed this message at one point  and I could not get it to wake up. I was able to wake it up after plugging it in, but then about a month later, the same message and  it could not wake up. So in my experience, sadly, this message either means that the system is failing or will fail soon.  I really hope this is not the case and that your adapter can fix the prblem.

I had a problem with my braille note where when the battery had died, I plugged it in. It had first wanted to do the reset, but had said "restoring Partition", and then not resetting fully but rather just saying "keeper load failed", and then shutting down. I called Humanware and they think it may be an adapter issue, since it happened when the battery was removed also, when they had asked to do a test without the battery. The adapter comes this week so I will find out soon enough if it will be resolved or if there's something else happening.
