    Avaya IP Conference Phone (Polycom)

    So the other night, they were having a wine and cheese in our large boardroom, so they cleared it out. Next day when they set it back up, our expensive Avaya IP conference phone (one of those Klingon bird of prey types actually made by Poly com) wouldn't work.
    It flashed on and off. 'course everyone thought it was dropped, or mis-handled, or plugged in wrong.
    I took one look and saw classic switch-mode power supply problems.
    I measured the output, 19.2v no-load, pulsing 19.2 down to 4v with the phone plugged in.

    Took the supply home, and cracked it open.
    Oh, look! a bad Crapxon 330uf 35v cap. Who'd have thunk.
    It measures 10uf and 11ohms esr out of circuit.

    Will take it back tomorrow and try it.

      From the "oh shit" dept:

      Tried it, 0 output.
      Had a close look at my soldering, no problem, naturally, I've been soldering since '72
      Looked again, and it appears that I cracked the circuit board when I was breaking open the case. I fixed a few obvious broken traces, still nothing.
      Time for some real troubleshooting now. Will check under better magnification, then start measuring voltages, hopefully I didn't toast anything powering it on with broken traces.
      So much for a 10 minute $2.00 repair....

          LOL!

          I actually squeezed it in a vise to crack open the seal of the housing, my chainsaw is in the shop
          Unfortunately, I did it after a few Molsons , and wasn't careful enough.
          I now know why I heard a crack, but the housing wasn't opening.

          No worries, I inspected under magnification, and have repaired the 4 cracked traces. It is now outputting 19.iforget volts.

            Hooray.

            If things came to it, sounds like you could have substituted a laptop power supply in a pinch.

              Molson?
              mmm - we used to get Molson "ice beer" for a while.
              then canada stopped exporting it - so we sent george galloway over to teach your government a lesson!

                Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
                by SluggerB
                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....

                new OS on a Sonim XP5s phone
                by keeney123
                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...

                Help with Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime phone
                by mikey5791
                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.
                If tested the...

                Cisco IP phone F-up
                by Dannyx
                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...
