Hi Peter, Yes, I have this problem with my PTP 1, and I have found that USB works for charging. Had they opted for the proper USB/AC charger, such as Humanware have done with their Victor Readers, this problem wouldn't have arisen. -----Original Message----- From: peter wilkins Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2019 12:27 PM To: Plextalk Discussion Subject: [Plextalk] CHARGING PLEXTALK POCKETS ?I have two Plextalk Pocket PTP1 units and a Linio. All three units have developed the same fault over time, and that is that they will not charge using the mains adaptor. There is definitely power going to the units, but they will not charge. Because of this I have now started to charge these units via a USB connection, either to a computer or listening device which has a USB charging facility, and everything is working fine. Has anyone else had this problem? It has been a concern of mine for some time, especially as it affects all three units, but at least I have found a way round it. All my units are now fully charged, and using the USB facility seems to be much more reliable than using the mains. Keep well.

Hi Peter, I agree. I wonder if it's worth trying a complete firmware reboot - if I can remember how to do it!! (Smile) If I make any progress, I'll let folk know.

It is not likely to be a problem with the cable. I have three units, three different power supplies, and even though they are interchangeable, they are all failing now. I have tested the leads and there is power going through, but the units are not accepting it. USB charging solves the problem. Keep well.

Hi My Plextalk no longer charges using the charger. I tried to load a software update onto it and it kept telling me to plug it into the mains, even though I was charging it using a USB cable. I could only stop it by rebooting it. So I never got the update. Pele West

Hello Penny. If it is the PTR 2 guide which you want, I have a file which I converted to text a while ago, and I can send it to you if you need it. Peter

plex 2 user's guide needed
by Penny Golden 14 Dec '18

I had 3 plextalk 2 machines. I just gave one away; i'd had the button pad replaced twice; it still isn't very good, for it takes so much pressure to press the keys. it works, but not too well. the person wants the user's guide. I know I've got it on a cd somewhere. He downloaded what he thought was the users guide; but it is something else, or not right somehow. Where do you really get the users guide. All best, Penny Golden pengold2(a)gmail.com
