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.
