[BRLTTY] HumanWare/Braillant question

[Nicolas Pitre]

You may try holding down the power button for 15 seconds or so to reset 
the device. If the internal battery is dead then you might have some 
difficulties powering it up and it might require several attempts. My 
very old Brailliant 40 could be brought to life only after I opened it 
up and removed its dead battery.
