In my case, the AC charger didn't solve the problem. Your lock
switch shouldn't be doing what you say it is doing. You might want
to have it checked out before the warranty runs out. I am glad the
BookSense doesn't say, "locked" or, "Unlocked" while I am reading.

Yeah, I'd agree with you regarding the lock switch being
buggy. It'll sometimes say locked and other times it won't say
anything at all. On top of this, sometimes it will remain locked,
not allowing you to use any of the buttons just as if it were still
locked and when it comes to that (which so far, has only happened
three times), you're uncertain of what to do to get it out of this,
"locked up," status that it has put itself in.
It's pretty much unlocked itself two of these three times that I've
experienced this nonsense, but the other time, I had to plug it in
to the AC charger and it booted back up after that. Which I'm quite
fortunate that I had my AC charger handy at the moment to do just
that right along with a receptacle to plug it in to. I'm sure like
myself, there are days/nights that many of you for whatever reasons
do not have your AC charger with you or you do not have an AC
receptacle available to plug it in to... and that certainly wouldn't
of been good times.

Subject: [GW-Booksense] Lock switch bad?
Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010 9:53 AM
I've been using my BS for 10 months now and recently I've discovered
that I couldn't use the navigation keys or other keys at all. After
doing multiple resets, both soft and hard, I discovered that the
slider lock switch may be faulty. With the switch in the 'up'
position the unit will alternate between the locked and unlocked
state, sometimes announcing the change, sometimes not. By switching
the slider down and then up I can somtimes get the buttons to work
properly for a minute or two and then without warning the unit is
locked again.
I don't know if the mechanical construction of the switch is one of
those delicate pc-board things which is easily worked loose or
not. But my guess is that something has gone awry with the
switch. Anyone have this experience? And Raoul, how should I proceed?

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places
to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back
to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
