Are the CID displays garbled ALL of the time or only when a call is
received?

it happened after a thunderstorm where the electric went out.

If the CID data is garbled when transmitted, but the phone LEDs are
otherwise OK, it is probably a problem with the line. If the displays
are permanently garbled, the phones are damaged. Good luck.
