Landline

Landline phone doesn’t seem to be getting any power through. It is a BT cordless with an answering machine.

Do you mean no 'power' from the line - that is - no dial tone.

Or do you mean no mains power to the cordless base unit - that is - no lights or display.

Re: Landline

It seems like no mains power. I ve checked all the cables and plug and they all seem to be in correctly.

Re: Landline

OK. The prime suspect would be the power supply. Worth checking the fuse in the plug first though - with a meter, or swapping with another appliance. If the fuse is OK...

Do you have a multimeter, or know anyone who could test the DC output of the power supply?
