My flat has an entry phone as do the other flats in the block.
I wanted to move my entry phone to a different position in the flat. So I opened it up, unscrewed all the cables, cut a few metres off the cable (as didn't need it all), restripped the wires and reconnected them in the same positions they were in before.
Now it doesn't work.
The positions on the phone are marked
C 1 2 L - A +
I took a photo before so I know I put them back in the right place.
The functions of the phone are:
Privacy button - this stops the buzzer from sounding. Still works but the light doesn't stay in.
Door light - comes on when the front door is opened - still works.
Buzzer - works but is very very quiet. You can't hear it unless you hold your ear to the receiver.
Voice - the handset has stopped working. When someone buzzes downstairs, you can't hear them and they can't hear you.
Door open button - usually the following happens: someone buzzes, you pick up, you speak to them, you press the door open button. Now you can't speak to them and the door open button does nothing.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong? Could I have shorted out the wires by accidentally touching them together? That's all I can think of.
Cheers
