I have now been able to get the HT to give some error beep upon restart soon after shutdown. (it gives an error type beep and then does not enter into power assist mode) but i have then been able to start the HT after that with a key, without having to remove/reinstall shaft.
Will keep experimenting,... Phil Webb "Cherry IT Driver" |

Phil,
When did you get your HT? You've sure been on the board since the early days Chris |

My re-boot problems happen randomly with the 9 units, usually trying to restart after a 10-15 minute break at the middle of our tour. It can happen on 11.0 version and the 12.0.
It is just a random occurence. I like the idea of a re-boot pin hole that would be safely covered by the plug flap. Tom Jacobson |

I received mine on 12-27-02 E-series.
Remember, I'm a Vantage Controls Dealer, Home/Business Automation (their also located in Orem) DEKA research is a Vantage customer. We've developed a voice control system/ open air mic and or telephone control over lighting,security and anything else that's powered by Electricity. Someday i'd like to install a Voice control system for DEKA to work along with their Vantage System. "Computer," "Yes Dean,.. how can i assist you this evening?" "Open my hanger doors,... i'd like to take the Brantly for a spin" "Well Dean the weather shows low ceilings in the Manchester Area,.. would you still like me to open the hanger doors?" Etc We're actually doing this in my house (not hanger doors, just garage doors) anyway it's really neat. Phil Webb "Cherry IT Driver" |

Phil,
I feel silly. We talked about this before. Wow, over a year and no reboots. Good deal! I haven't had to reboot my new i-series once in almost a month. Chris |

Phil: Reminds me of an early voice-operated-everything client I had in the mid '90's when ViaVoice was the big thing. We installed a CTI voicemail in his office and he listened to his vmail over his PC speakers (almost unheard of technology then!) His buddies would leave him voicemail messages like "Computer!....C Drive!...Format Backslash U!"
He hated his friends..... |

A little bit annoyed now...
After about five weeks of flawless performance, last Wednesday was the first time it needed a reboot. With this muscular condition I have, I can't take the Segway apart by myself. Fortunately I was with my work colleagues and they helped out. Today it happened again -- this time my friendly taxidriver helped reboot my machine. But twice in a week is a little annoying. I guess it would be very hard philosophically for Segway to include a reset switch. On one hand they have to show the world how rocksolid reliable and stable the machine is. How can they say that, and then say "Oh yeah, and just in case the machine goes wonky, we have a little reset switch hidden away..." I also liked the idea of the reboot pin tucked away inside the power socket housing. If anyone has any tips on reducing the incidence of Segway coma, please post your suggestions. I am going to always shut down from power assist mode and see if that makes any difference... who knows? --- Who said that you shouldn't get carried away on your Segway? |

By the way, I haven't noticed this tip on the Segway web site until now...

Ronzul, I have had one shut down in alsost a yers usee. Lucky Me. But I did try he tap tap tap method to no avail. I still had to separate the CS and disconnect the wires. That is a sure fire method, at least for me. I still like the idea of a conviently "dislocated" switch idea. SEG-ON SEG-RIGHT JR
