Hi all,



My base unit appears to have packed up. reading through the web this looks like a common problem with these boxes. Has anyone ever managed to repair one? The problem is the phone won't register with the base. I've done all the factory resets on base and phone and also used the phone to register with a different base unit which works OK. It's difficult to know what is or isn't happening. I don't have any receivers that go up to 2GHz to monitor the base's output so I don't know whether it's an RF problem or something in the logic that's gone wrong. As I've said the reset does what it says it should do and the PAGE button also, above that without being able to connect to it via a phone what else can you do? Catch 22!



Cheers Bob

Have you got a standard old analogue Sky box laying around? That's a receiver that goes up beyond 2GHz without an LNB connected. If the handset registers ok with another base, then both its tx and rx and coding and decoding circuitry, are working correctly, which puts the problem with the base.

Trouble is with these third generation DECT phones, the RF circuitry tends to be in sealed ' blocks ' , and the whole shebang is controlled by processors at either end, which need to whisper to each other to set the link up. Unlike in the old days of the first and second generation analogue phones, in general, there's unfortunately not a lot you can do to get to the bottom of problems.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it was going to be a bin job. Shame really but that's modern technology for you I suppose.
