GE Cordless strange problem
 
Hi,

I have a problem with a GE cordless 900 MHz answering machine model
26990-D. When I use the phone and am dialing the number "6", more
often than not, the phone goes into mute mode and the 6 doesn't dial.
I have already cleaned the keypad internally, but it doesn't help.

Any ideas?

This can be from a break in the circuit board, or the uPC in either the
handset or the base is having problems. This type of repair would not be
worth to service.

These phones are very low in cost, and have an exchange warranty when
new. The manufacture themselves don't service them during the warranty
period. They give the customer a new phone.

I don't know what upc stands for, but if anyone has any other ideas on
how to fix this thing, please let me know. Everything works
otherwise, and I like the machine.

uPC stands for microprocessor. Is the unit under warranty? If so,
exchange it, otherwise trash. A new one only costs $20 or so, it's
not worth the expense to even try to get parts. Otherwise, take it
apart and resolder all visible connections to see what happens. Have
you tried the time-honored method of giving it a good snack with your
fist to see what happens?
