Buttons not working .......2007-05-14

I purchased three of these phones 26 months ago. The buttons on two of them have not been working for months. The buttons on the third are pretty much shot now as well. Three phones - all worthless if I can't push the buttons. I expected more from Motorola. I'm guessing a cheapie, no-name phone system would have lasted longer and definitely cost me less.

HORRIBLE buttons.......2007-04-16

We have owned four of these handsets and EVERY SINGLE one had had the buttons fail. They use some kind of rubber membrane contact and after a while they just stop working, or work very intermittently. NOT recommended.

what's up with the batteries??.......2007-04-12

It seems they don't make phones to last anymore. I bought this phone 2 years ago. Like many others who have written reviews the key pad did go out just at 1 year. Motorola was great about customer service and sent me out 2 new phones. They would not replace the batteries though which were already going out. I replaced the batteries, $18.00 each at Radio Schack and still I have continual problems. Even after being gone and letting each phone sit on the charger for 7 days straight the battery was down within the first few hours. I can't stand this any longer. We are on the phone constantly and it is a big big hassle always trying to talk worrying that the battery is going to go dead and cut you off. I am going out to buy a new phone system, yet again, maybe this time i will stick with a corded phone with a really long, long cord!! Motorola, you get an F for your product and an A for your customer service.

Fixing keypad problem.......2007-02-19

Kellie is right on with the keypad repair. We have 4 handsets, for about 2 years now, and are very happy with the system. However, the most used phone started giving us fits with the '3' and the 'off' buttons not working. I washed and dried my iPod nano [in the laundry by accident], and was able to take that apart and get it working again so I thought what the heck-lets have a go at this larger Motorola phone handset. I actually did this before I saw Kellie's post, and after getting most of the phone apart, I decided to do a search for hints-when it felt I was about to crack something. After getting the phone apart, and cleaning it with a Q tip and rubbing alcohol it works perfectly. I considered calling Motorola and "demandimg" replacement handsets, but I am happy to be able to fix it myself. Here is what I did:
1] remove the clip- at first you'll think this thing is frickin glued or welded on, but you actually just need to spread the "wings" on the side of the phone outward, and you'll successfully remove tabs "A" from slots "B"
2] remove battery cover and remove battery-should unclip easily
3] remove 2 screws in battery compartment
4] remove the small plate on the back of the top of the phone just abouve the clip you removed. Use a thin screwdriver and pry from the bottom of the panel, as its like a door that will want to "swing up" and out
5] remove the 2 screws you have now exposed-they are the same size and type as the 2 screws you removed from the battery compartment
6] now your nerve will be tested. You need to seperate the phone into 2 halves- a front and back. As you do this, you will think you are gonna crack either the front or back plate in half. If you can trust us, and understand that the rubber "grips" on each side of the phone are the only thing really holding the front and back together you can win this struggle. Its hard to explain, but the rubber grips on each slide have a number of slots, and the front and back halves slide into these grooves snugly and at a 90 degree angle. You could just grab one end of the rubber grip and yank away like its a zipper, but I didn't do this because I didn't want to stretch or tear the rubber and have the phone look like hell after I put it back together. There are also 3 plastic "clips" one on one side and 2 on the other, but these are nothing. Defeat the rubber grips and these 3 little clip things you won't even notice. So take your time, and eventually you should get the front and back halves of the phone apart from each other and the rubber grips.
7] remove the 2 screws holding teh circuit board to the faceplate. The circuit board should come out easily-be careful with the soldered red and black wires to the speaker. When you take circuit board out it will still be tethered to the faceplate by the speaker wires.
8] take Q-tip and rubing alcohol and wipe all copper contacts and backs of rubber buttons like a wild man [wild woman]
9] let dry [a few minutes], put back together in reverse of way you took it apart- little stubby antenna will possibly fall out at some point, just set it back in when you put two halves back together, then enjoy Utopia as your phone will now work like it did when you first took it out of its stupid box !!!! Any questions? post a comment and I will try to answer them good luck, its really pretty easy ! If sexy Kellie can do it so can you !

Fix the inactive keys by cleaning under the keypad.......2007-02-11

I am a loyal motorola customer and I bought this phone about 2 1/2 years ago. Within 9 months, the 5 on the keypad stopped working. Then, the on/flash and the off buttons stopped working. I was irritated, so I put the entire system away. I recently needed another phone, so I reopened this phone to see if I could fix it. I remembered that my old motorola cell phone that I had last year started doing the same things. The guy at the cell phone store told me that it was probably because oil, makeup, and dirt had gotten under the keypad and that the 5, call and end buttons are usually the ones that go out because they are usually the ones that we use the most, so they usually accumulate the most dirt, etc under them. He instructed me to take off the face plate of the cell phone and the keypad will come out. Then, swab under the key pad with rubbing alcohol. I decided to try the same thing with this phone. I took out the battery pack and removed 4 tiny silver screws. This allowed me to lift up the bottom of the front panel of the phone (the way that it's made won't allow for the entire thing to be taken all the way off w/o breaking it). I dipped a q-tip in some rubbing alcohol and swabbed under the pad and in between the keys and it was FILTHY!! I put the face plate back on and the phone worked perfectly. I completed the same procedure on my other 2 handsets and now they all work like brand new. It did take a little while (about 45 minutes), and it was a very tediuos process, but I'm cheap and the little bit of time that I spent cleaning under the faceplate saved me $175.
