Hi Betina,

The email you replied to has a lot of good suggestions in it, and ultimately you might have to call Freedom Scientific. However, years ago I had a similar problem with a display, so that brings to mind two ideas:

You have probably already done this, but have you restarted the computer? Sometimes it takes that to get JAWS to recognize the braille display.

In my case it turned out that my cable was bad. As soon as I used another cable the display connected. Also, if you can I would try a different usb port.

Good luck! Take care and stay safe!

Debby

Hi, all:

I am using a Focus 40 display, 4th generation with JAWS 2022, and Windows 11. I have tried connecting via bluetooth, and it works. But If I try connecting it via USB, it does not work.

Sincerely,
Betina Vega

Hi,

Are you using JAWS 2022 with your windows 11?

Did you hear a connect sound when you connected the Focus to the computer?

Have you searched the Device Manager to see if it shows up there?

Are you using the provided cable with your Focus? The tip that goes
into the Focus 4 Generation is a micro usb tip.

Hello, all:

I am using the Focus blu 40, 4th generation display with windows 11,
and JAWS 2022. I have connected it using bluetooth, but this is the
first time connecting the device using the USB port. I have tried
going through the JAWS Braille menu, and following the steps to
connect via USB but nothing happens. I have tried turning the Braille
display on and off, and I do know I must have my Braille display
turned on before activating JAWS. Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.

Sincerely,
Betina Vega
