BT Decor 2500 disassembly

There are only three visible screws on the back of this telephone and it hasn't clicked easily apart after removing them: are there other screws under the rubber feet or are there some other tricks I ought to know about?



The problem I'm trying to fix is that suddenly, none of the buttons operate any more. I can pick up and chat on an incoming call but can't read menus, dial numbers or anything else.



My guess is that an internal connector had become an internal disconnector but if the groups experience suggests something different or that it's totally stuffed, I'd be grateful to know. I have another working-when-I-last-used-it handset but thanks to Sod's Law it's in a cupboard being held closed by two strings full of Christmas cards and decorations. I'd prefer not to take them down just yet if the original phone is easily fixable.



Thanks - and happy remainder of Chriastmas Day to all!

Well, I'd certainly look under the feet in any case.

Does this phone need a psu, ise like some speaker phones seem to, or is its completely line powered? The problem with phones in my experience is that they seem to use the cheapest and crappiest membrane keypads known to man witch get cracks in the conductive bits and things start to get intermittent. The only hopeful sign for you is the totality of the problem, keypads tend to lose one key here and there or a whole row. In the end phones are so cheap these days its hardly worth fixing them.
