KX-T: Fwd: TVS100 troubleshooting update.

Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire : "zets"

Best regards,

P.S. I have read that some people have been 
successful in using Windows, Unix, or Linux 
commands to image the drive to a file on a larger 
hard disk and then restore to a new hard disk. 
GNU ddrescue can read a drive and build up a copy 
of everything good except for bad sectors. That 
might allow recovery of more files if some parts 
of the disk is unreadable. These options might be 
more flexible than the built-in commands.

I was able to purchase a replacement KX-TVS-220 
hard disk formatted with software installed. It 
was easier for me to recreate menus and voice 
prompts on the new disk than to attempt migration.

So I go on site, and indeed the hard drive is 
bad....it wont spin up.  It does make a great 
phaser sound though.

Back in my shop, I give the drive a good zets and 
sure enough it spins up.  I have the drive backed 
up (via the utility save menu)

The drive is a Seagate ST91420AG 1441.9 MB 
(labled VA2250) with V2.50.  The unit's EPROMs 
are VA11M V1.12

So can I just get any drive and a double cable 
and copy (assuming all sectors are readable) the 
disk using the SYSD or DCPY commands in the 
utility menu?
I have been told that I may need an EPROM update...is this true?

I dont trust the current drive anymore. And I'm 
hoping to turn this around faster than sending it 
to GA

Thanks

What is 4 flashes of the power indicator on a TVS100 trying to tell me?

The system started to behave funny yesterday (kxtd132+tvs100) - the
AA/custom service menus answers calls fine, but when an extension was
dialed, and not answered, the prompt returned to the menu without ever
asking "to leave a message...."

I entered the customer's mailbox, and noticed the box was full with 100
messages.

Why didn't it give the "mailbox full" message?

I told the customer to delete some messages.
I don't know what they did, but they now claim that they cant get into the
voice mail at all, and the tvs100's power led is flashing 4 times.

Any ideas (besides the hard drive crashed)?
Thanks
