My bookport is dead

Posted in Technology Related, and Uncategorized

Man i’m so pissed off my bookport is dead.
I’ve just replaced the batteries in the unit and no speech after putting in the batteries.
I’m taking the unit to work to see if anyone can tell me if the battery terminals are bent but I don’t think they are.

I think from other bookport users these units have a tendansy to just die after a short time.

I hope other bookport user’s don’t have this problem after having the unit for less then 2 months.

Very very sad state of affairs.

are well i’m having now to resort to my portable cd player to listen to material now.

Fuck i’m so angry with these fucked up shitty designs in products these days.

I’m not buying a bookport for this reason useless metal battery connectors and fuck they have had other reports of this kind of thing previously.

Fucking a p h.

    Scott you did do the correct change the batteries procedure when you changed the batteries? I can’t remember what the keystroke to do this is but you need to put the unit to sleep or wait for it to beep before pulling the battereis or you can corrupt things for good.

    i had the same thing with my book courier.
    It’s not the battery terminals, it’s the firmware going silly. I tried all sorts of batteries and things in mine and I ended up sending it back. I still haven’t got it back yet.
