Lanier repair?

Posted By: Patty M on 2006-08-26
In Reply to:

I have a Lanier LX-219-1 with the extended screen, and all of the backlighting is out. Does anyone know of ANYONE who repairs these? I live in the Sacramento, CA area but might be willing to ship out to someone reliable.

How about a waterbed repair kit or a bike repair kit?

Hi, Deeni! I did Lanier for several years and was always told that Lanier....sm
would only work with/accept/interface with other Lanier products, that everything was proprietary, but that was a few years ago and do not know if anything there has changed, wish I was of more help!  Have a good one!
Repair?
Can that program be "repaired" over there where you go to start, etc. and see all your software. Sometimes some software has a "repair program" thing you click on and it makes the program work again. If not, then I heard that we have to re-install. All programs don't have that feature though.
We met where I worked, he came in to repair the TEM in the lab - sm
I found him attractive (and was pretty sure he had been attracted to me) but was seeing someone at the time (Plus he lived in MD 2 hours away)--6 weeks later I was "free again". I happened to ask our usual service guy about him about a month later.....called him that night, engaged 4 months later, married 10 months after that....9 years so far!
thanks for the repair site
Wow! I'm so happy to know of a repair business for my Lexmark SelectEase split keyboard. (They even specifically list this as one they will fix for $45!) I had forgotten the model name, but that's it. I believe IBM bought out Lexmark at one point and continued making the same keyboard.
Not only do they repair, they can suggest, and

If there are any computer repair shops in your area sm

Go to one that is reliable (ask around) and ask them to build you a computer to your specifications. It costs about the same as buying a new computer, and you can get EXACTLY what you want. If you already have a copy of Windows XP, they can put that on the computer they are building (I would advise keeping XP for at least one more year, until Vista works all the bugs out and more companies are Vista-compatible).


As for peripherals like a monitor, printer, etc., you can either keep the ones you have now, see what price the computer place will give you, or catch them on sale at Wal-Mart or one of the computer superstores.


Better still, if you have a friend who is handy with computers, he/she can do the same thing for you. It is just a matter of buying the components and putting them together. My husband has rebuilt and upgraded my computer several times. The one time I did buy a brand new computer, I took it back within a week. It drove me CRAZY!!!


Took first part of computer repair class. sm
Taking second part in April. Already been offered internship when I complete the class.
I have never had a hernia repair either, but I have done transcription for general surgeons for 14 y
They usually tell people to plan on 4-6 weeks depending on the lifting requirements of their job. Have you asked your surgeon yet? They should be able to give you a good estimate.
Find computer repair store in your town

I haven't read through all the replies, so forgive me if this is a duplicate answer.  Find a computer repair store in your town.  Many times they will take off Vista and reload XP - for a cost, certainly, but it can be done.


Vista isn't bad, it's just that there is so much out there that is not compatible with it yet.  It's a pain, to be sure.


My next computer is going to be a Mac.


Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

Lanier
Yes Transcend uses the voice writer on certain accounts.  Just started using it. 
Lanier VXP??
Anybody use Lanier VPX? I can't get my wav pedal to play these files. Any suggestions?
Lanier VXP
These can only be played with a Lanier footpedal.  They have a proprietorial header on the voice file and cannot be opened without the appropriate footpedal.
I have a lanier - sm
I would like to know more too.  Thanks.

Does anyone use a lanier voice writer and looking for extra work?   Thanks!

I know this may be redundant, but try unplugging everything and then start over. I have had this happen and it corrected it. Good luck!

HELP WITH LANIER LX-230

My Lanier LX-230 will NOT turn on when I push on/off button .  I tried *99 1 to see which buttons are programmed, and the on/off button did not light up .  Does anyone know what (if there is one) the code is for on/off button for the LX-230.  To check, pls. try *99 then 1 while your LX-230 is off, then push the on/off button once - the code should be displyed...PLEASE reply to me with the code.


WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!!

If you use a calling card to dial into the hospital system using a Lanier, do your phone card minutes start to decrease immediately or only when you have the foot pedal down and are listening to the dictation? I hope this question makes sense? Tx
lanier
On mine assign job is on the right side 5th one down - good luck!
IC Lanier
Check out MDI-MD.
Could someone tell me what a Lanier is.
I know I heard of it but not sure exactly what it is.
Lanier
It is a device that hooks into a phone line and you hook in your headphones and receive the dictation through there. Expensive peice of equipment. You have to dial into where ever your dictation is coming from. Does that help you at all?
I currently use it.
Lanier
Looking for an affordable digital system that would allow at least 4 people to dictate at the same time. Since they dial into the server with Lanier, is it possible for more than one person to be dictating at the same time? Would you need more than one phone line to allow for this? (Not sure if this system would allow for that or not). Any suggestions?
Thanks.
lanier
if you know job #, use the assign by job # key and reassign it to yourself. if you don't have that key, holler and I'll give you programming directions.
lanier
Try unplugging the phone lines from the modem (flat box) for about 10 minutes and then plug back in.
I need some help. I have a Lanier LX-219-1 with VTI. sm
I need a terminal block, power source and pedal.  Can anyone tell me where I can get these.  I have checked Executive Communications and they have them new.  I would like to buy used if at all possible.  Thanks!
Lanier P-145

Hello,


Does anyone know how to use the Lanier P-145(An old telephone 4 tape recording system)?  Or does anyone know of a manual I can get my hands on?  I just purchased a used one and I have tried everything and I can not get it to work!!!  It does power on, but I am not sure if I am hooking everything up correctly. 


Thank you very much.

Lanier
Agree. Lanier the best, but expensive. $600-700 for mine 12 years ago. Lasts forever, and you can spend the same $600-700 on cheaper models that will need to be replaced with new on a regular basis. Have tried Olympus, Panasonic, Sony - all lasted less than a year.
Lanier 219

Any one here know ths machine like the back of their hand?  I have a few questions about functions of some of the keys.


 


Lanier
Sometimes they get sensitive and can do that, or also not give a full visual read-out in the window. When that happens, the tech tells us to fully power it down, totally unplug from its power source (from the wall, etc.) and let it sit for a full 5 minutes. This cools the unit down and since they are preprogramed which also includes programming of your footpedal, this allows the preprogramming to come back to its original state. Mine does stuff like that about every month or so. Most of them are pretty old. Also, you may have to get technical support if powering down does not work, to check your pedal settings. Hope this helps. I know these "old dinosaurs" get fussy sometimes.
Lanier

I am trying to find out what are the advantages/disadvantages of Lanier versus other platforms? 


Harder/easier?


Outdated/up-to-date?


Lanier is the best
Any transcription product with Lanier on the name is #1 in my book.
Lanier
Lanier is one of the oldest, slowest, clunkiest systems around. I actually quit a job that was paying me 11 cpl on Lanier and took one for 9-3/4 on WAV and am making waaaay more on the WAV account. Lanier stinks.
Lanier help

I need the command prompts to use to access a Lanier system with non-Lanier equipment. 


I access 2 other Lanier systems with the same equipment with NO problem at all.  But this one is recognizing me as a "dictator" and not a "transcriber".


The prompts I do have, don't work.  They are "call in, wait for beep, enter #6"  I should hear "welcome" then enter my ID and should be good to go. 


I've spent almost 3 hours searching for the solution on the internet and I need help fast.  There are a ton of jobs waiting for me on this new system - so I'm losing $$$


thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,


 


Lanier
Is it possible to get Lanier voice files with anything other than a Lanier? I tried calling in on a Dictaphone, but it doesn't work. Seems like I remember someone posting about this, but I can't remember how she said it was done.

Thanks.

Questions on Lanier 219 or 230

Could some MTs that use either of these systems please email me.  I have a ton of questions concerning these machines and don't know where to look.  Looking at working on an account that requires one of these machines and have been looking on ebay.  Asked a few questions to one seller and I don't think he knows what he has.  Any help would be really appreciated.

Lanier.....TransNet???

Hi Everyone!


Do you know if Lanier makes a sofware package similar to TransNet in which you can sign onto their system, download your voice files, and then sign off?  If so, what is the name of that software?


Thanks!!!


 


Lanier hook up

I purchased a Lanier 230 and come to find out it did not come with the required cables to hook this stupid thing up.  I got the base unit with large display, the power supply, the foot pedal, and the VTI but no cables.  Can someone tell me what cables I need and how to plug it in so it will run properly?  The only thing that came with it is the quick check brochure on how to program it.  Nothing is mentioned on hook up.


Thank you in advance everyone.  I would like to get to work on an account but don't even know how to get started.  I figured posting here would get a quicker response.  I don't want to go bald... hehe


 


Vonage and Lanier? sm

I have used Vonage in the past with a C-phone.   Will it work as smoothly with a Lanier system? 


I have had no problems using it with my Lanier.
