Hi,
I have a mailstation 100, I've managed to put it in test mode and I pre=
ssed 2 to do a fast test.
Then the LCD screen cleared and the device never =
returned to an usable state.
There is no indication of activity, I have re=
seted it, disconnected it for several hours, but no luck.
There is a way t=
o restore it to a default state?
I know that if I left it in test mode and =
turn it off and on the machine is still in test mode until I press Q
Rom v=
ersion is 1.08 (from memory) and is a device customized for Telefonica de A=
rgentina.

I don't have any version lower than 2.21, but if we assume the

display:

step 5 takes about 15 seconds, and the=

it adds "FALSE" to display. (I don't have any battery=

From: Eduardo Fuentes <fuentesea@...>

It didn't do any test, may be the only signal after I pressed 2 was the mai=
l LED that flashed one time.
I don't know if some tests have passed because=
the LCD is completely blank.
I'm running on wall only.
It's weird, the dev=

Other sy=
mptoms that both units have in common (when the two were operational) are:

Hi CJ,
I've replaced the power supply for a new one (CIDCO original). The u=
nit that is still working now passes all tests including DTMF and Modem.
Th=
e one that does not boot is still in the same situation, with the bridge on=
it passes all tests too. May be the old power supply burned the power on/o=

I'll try with AA batteries, but I would not bet on that works.

I've found the schematics for a 250, I think it;s is very simmilar t=
o 100. Looking at it seems U303(74HC74) or Q304 (2SJ244)=C2=A0 can be the c=
ulprit.
I'll try to activate/deactivate the unit bridging G leg of Q304 to =
check if it works. I'll measure the voltage at G leg pressing On/off switch=
to see if the flipflop is working ok.
