Is the power cord plugged securely into the machine?
Is the power plug plugged fully into the wall socket ... not half out or
making nasty buzzing sounds?
If you are using a plug box ... has it a cut out button (overload/short)
... if so, re-set it (usually by pushing it in). If it blows again get
an someone to check it ... you have a serious problem somewhere.
Is the Blazer actually turned on at its power switch?
Don't laugh ... I spent 30 years in bands trying to trouble shoot why
electronics wouldn't work! After an hour or so of sifting through a
spaghetti maze of wiring you learn that the first thing to check is the
power!!
A long shot but I hope this helps.
Alan

John,
My daughter's machine is also a Blazer you can email me directly off the
list or I could copy my Blazer manual and email it to you, but I would
need your direct email since I think the user list won't allow
attachments.
There are a few other questions I have
1. Is the blazer making any noise at all? Is it talking to you? If it is
brailing gibberish and talking then it is a setting you need to adjust.
2. If it is not doing anything at all? If so, did you go through the set
up process when Duxbury says to turn off the authorization on 10.5
release 1 before adding 10.5 release 2? If you didn't follow that step
then you should be still able to open the old program and your blazer
should run, there is a conflict in the two programs.
3. Another item I would ask you is if you change your computer hook up
in any way? Did you go from a parallel to a serial port? Make sure your
settings in the blazer and in the Duxbury program are the same.
If you would like me to copy and email my owner's manual I can. My
daughter' blazer is at least ten years old so we've had our share of
program changes, computer changes etc. If I copy it to an email it would
be an Adobe file or PDF and if you have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or better the
file should read out loud to you.
Technology is the best of good and evil, I even had to give her
Christmas present from her grandmother of a new computer to her
siblings. I ended up having to do a major Windows update on her old
machine because the new computers are not coming out with Parallel ports
on all machines. And some of the newer computers like Dell's skinny
computer, the hardware manufacturer's haven't caught up with the
computer people and there are no new parallel ports to add to the new
computer's internally, they have to be external and USB, which the
Blazer is picky about.
I can try to help but we may do better off list.

Is it brailing anything? If not working at all, start Duxbury,
at the top where you find "file" "edit" go a couple more tabs and you
will find settings and under that tab is embosser set up. Find your
embosser on the list and save settings.
If your Brailler is brailing miscellaneous information the
embosser bar may need to be flipped over. This occurs on the Braille
Blazer, there is a little handle on the embosser bar that my daughter
use to occasionally flip and the embosser bar then is in graphing mode.
Hopefully this helps.
