RJ11 UK vs EU question
Good day folks. Pretty straightforward issue I'm having here: someone gave me a cordless phone they brought from the UK and I can't get it to work here. I know for a fact the RJ11 phone jacks here use the middle two pins only, since all my phones work just fine like that, but this phone's got no tone and wouldn't ring like that, so the question is does the UK use a different pinout for RJ11 jacks ? Something like the outer two pins or something instead of the middle two ? The phone looks brand new so it SHOULD work.....if that's not it then, what could it be ? It's a BT btw...I can provide exact details if need be, but for now let's get the cable out of the way.

So I SHOULD wire the center pins to the outer ones indeed.Wattevah...Comment

Re: RJ11 UK vs EU question
Unfortunately no, it doesn't work. Pins 3-4 (middle ones) wired to 2-5 on the other side, so that's not it.Wattevah...Comment

Re: RJ11 UK vs EU question
It's working now. I was correct about the inner wires going to the outer pins on the telephone end, but it wasn't crimped properly or wasn't inserted all the way at one end which made me think that wasn't it, but it was
Solved.

I have two TCL A30 phones.
Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.
New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone
My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone.... -
To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound... -
Hi all,
Got this smart phone free from a guy who dropped it hard until the lcd display cracked with no seen display.
Opened it and found the display ribbon cable partly damaged. I charged the phone full in 2 hours time, the led red light turns to green indicate full charge.
Then i use a usb cable connect the phone to laptop but it only showed as media player with firmware version. Too bad there is no option to check folder.
Does anyone know any method to check if the phone is working good? Looking forward for any advice and help possible.

Yesterday I successfully repaired a Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP that had inadvertently been used as a surge suppressor at our transmitter site. It has already been replaced with an updated one but it's coming home with me now instead of being e-cycled. To be specific, this is the MA model that has the blue backlit display and has been discontinued, although this design may have been used in many UPS units including the smaller Middle Atlantic ones in this series.
Here's what happened: We experienced a brownout/surge at the site, which damaged the UPS and took our broadcasting... -
Good day folks. I had a little f-up over at my new shop today and it made me pretty angry, but at the same time it determined me to try and figure out what could've happened there. This is only going to be a speculative discussion since I don't know the exact layout of our network, hence I don't know what's going on past our room. So:
The repair shop where I sit is situated in a remote building down the street from the main building. There's a Cisco IP phone in this room, a 7911, like the rest of the company uses. There's obviously some sort of networking going on between the two...
