Siemens Gigaset A140 Wireless phone This phone looked a lot like the
Telia Free 20 below, which probably is done by the same manufacturer and rebranded. It was an older model, though. The phone was stone
dead. No display, no sounds, nothing. There where power in the
base module and there where power from the batteries. As I tried
to open it I removed the rechargeable batteries and left it
alone for a while. Then before proceeding with the dismantling I
tried to put the batteries in again just to make sure it just
didn't need a deep reset. That was it, after the battery was
inserted again it worked. This shows that it isn't always a
tricky job to fix things and I would hardly call this a repair
but my mother in law, who owns the phone, and a lot of other
people
too wouldn't have taken this to the shop or got a new one.
