Disappearing Display on DECT 1811 Uniden

[Donna]

My not-very-old handset is losing portions of the diplay, so that
letters and numbers appear incomplete, as if someone has partially
erased them. It actually went completely blank (but still was
operational).
Thought that maybe the base station wasn't fully charging the
batteries, so charged them up on a separate charger we have for other
NI-MH batteries (Power tech plus from Jaycar) and this brought back
the display to the partially erased display.
Of course it's just out of warranty...
Any ideas? Is it worth pulling the back off the phone?
We also have a second handset on a subsidiary charger, which has no
problems at all.

Problem with the squishy connector between the display and the
phone's circuit board. You need to take your phone apart and
give that little connector a "massage". Then the display
should become good again, if you did it right.

We had ongoing problems with Uniden phones including an 1811 with the
same display fault. I was told it's a common problem. Luckily we took
them all back within the warranty period and now have Doro phones which
seem to be good.

I found with the 1811 base that if you add one extra handset it works OK
but if you have two extra handsets they both become very unreliable;
often locking up one or the other. Once one has locked up keeps working OK.

I'd just ask them nicely to fix it under warranty since that
handset is notorious for that problem and if they are stupid
enough to refuse, threathen them with the small claims system
and if they are stupid enough to still refuse, use the small claims
system to fuck them over very comprehensively indeed.

Is it worth pulling the back off the phone?

Nope, better to monster them as above.

We also have a second handset on a subsidiary
charger, which has no problems at all.

Hi there,

It might be worth taking a volt meter to the batteries after you have
"charged" them. If one of the cells has gone bad (shorted), the
voltage might be too low to properly operate the display. The charging
circuit in some phones does not prevent over charging. As a result of
constant over charging, the batteries loose capacity and eventually
short.

Cheers from Canada!

Problem with the squishy connector between the display and the
phone's circuit board.

I'm with Nick here. Most phones have this kind of problem, I've fixed
my own phone (3310) and my gf's phone (5110E) in the same manner.

If you have appropriate cleaning solution, it might pay to give the
copper contacts under the screen a clean before you put it back
together. I probably wouldn't try to clean the "squishy connector",
it's a little delicate.

While you're at it, clean the battery contacts as well!

Five minutes spent popping the back off the phone and cleaning the
contacts is considerably more sensible than what you're suggesting
Rod.

Imagine this;
go into the store
explain the story to the monkey behind the counter
haggle over the warranty
threaten them with small claims action
get hot under the colar
haggle with a more senior employee
get frustrated and angry
finally they agree to fix it
then you'll be sending your phone away for days or weeks
being without a phone for the time it takes to be fixed
then you'll have to pick up the phone from the store...

blah blah blah...

being out of warranty, chances are all they'll do is pull the phone
apart and clean and "massage" the contacts.

Is it really worth it?! No way in hell!

Not if you fuck them over using management or the small claims system.

Anyone with a clue forces them to do it for free.

system!
Why not just give it a try rather than go to all that effort and

ah ha, so "cluey" individuals everywhere are getting a free ride by
"forcing" businesses to do things they are not legally obliged to do.

Sounds like nerd-nirvana!! Except that they all die of stress related
illness at 35 from having arguments with store managers.

In my experience, getting free service on out of warranty items is
akin to trying to row a boat with no arms. Frustrating and pointless.

No, you're right, it's the squishy contact itself that is failing.
However, me and my mates have managed to get long service out of our
Nokias by performing this free and simple service. My gfs phone is a
nokia 5110E (how old is that?!?!) I've cleaned this phone once about
a year ago and have had no problems since. I believe that is WELL
worth the five minutes of simple labour that went into it.

No trips to the store, no dealing with teenage staff members, no
vexatious claims, no application forms, no court fees (which probably
out weigh the cost of the service!) no futile battles with legal teams
from massive corporations, no bullshit at all!

Hell, it's what you make it, but for my money (ie; none, not even $2
petrol!), I'd be doing it myself.

Even if I was as belligerent as you, Rod, I'd be doing something like
writing to choice magazine, or the telecoms ombudsman and CCing the
phone company. With a simple letter and hopefully some bad press you
might even score a whole new phone! Ideally, others would benefit
from this and the company might then agree to repair all phones with
the same fault and not just Donnas!

Wrong. As always. You dont normally need to use the small
claims system with an operation like that, management usually does
understand what the law requires even if the frontline monkeys dont.

And the small claims system aint a 'law suit' anyway, you pig ignorant clown.

Why not just give it a try

Because that will certainly eliminate any
possibility of a warranty repair, fuckwit.

Thats the main problem with it, there is no nice tidy time.

A pair of thongs used by someone delivering junk mail
obviously cant be expected to last as long as say a fridge.

Generally the small claims system, which is what would
normally be used, is pretty biased in favour of the purchaser.

I'm happy to be enlightened about this Rod, but you really should try
to tame your anger. Is it so hard to correct people without calling
them drug crazed pig ignorant fuckwits?

(This is a rhetorical question. I am anticipating a barrage of
insults in response to this statement. But you never know, he may
surprise us!)

All you said initially was that the OP should "monster" the retailer.
That gave no useful insight, and in fact, the OP has now asked for
more info about statutory warrantees. So it seems they were just as
ignorant as I was in this matter! If you had just made a sensible
comment about statutory warrantees in your original reply we wouldn't
be having this stoush.

Wrong. As always. The law requires them to replace that
connection to the screen under the statutory warranty which
is entirely separate to the stated warranty, pig ignorant fuckwit.

Wrong! It MAY require them to replace the connection, IF the OP can
successfully argue the point that it is a known issue with this model
phone and/or that it was expected to have a longer life than it has.
There are no hard and fast rules in this case. Do you have any
information that this is a problem that Uniden have agreed to rectify
out of warranty? I doubt it.

Having done some research myself (since your insults don't actually
express any useful information about statutory warrantees) I have
learned that it is still a long and difficult process in most
instances to get any joy out of such a situation. Is it really worth
it? Or should you just bite the bullet and either buy a new handset
(maybe less than $150 considering a base AND handset comes in @ about
$220) or attempt to fix it yourself for free?

Given that I contract myself out (in a line of work different to that
which we have "discussed") at $40/hour with a minimum call of 4 hours,
even three or four hours worth of travelling, haggling over statutory
warrantees, potentially making a small claim (costing a minimum of $54
just to get the ball rolling) and arranging servicing isn't worth
turning down even a short job to give me the time during business
hours.

Even someone as stupid as you should be able to grasp that
what is being discussed is a UNIDEN DECT 1811, fuckwit.

Similar types of connector exists in both these devices and they both
experience very similar faults. What's your point?

And plenty have found that just 'cleaning the contacts' doesnt
give trouble free service forever after with Nokia 5110Es, fuckwit.

I never said that it did. Nor would REPLACING the connector give
trouble free service forever! Chances are they'd replace it with the
exact SAME part, meaning that in time it will just fail again.

Obviously aint gotta fucking clue about
what the small claims system is about either.

Hint: they aint ALLOWED to use legal parasites, fuckwit.

In the small claims court in the A.C.T. you ARE ALLOWED LEGAL
PRACTITIONERS.. I refer you to "Magistrates Court (Civil
Jurisdiction) Act 1982 No. 54" Part 23 section 484 subsection 1.

"…any matter or thing in relation to any proceedings that, under the
Act or otherwise by law, is required or allowed to be done by a party
to the proceedings may be done by his or her legal practitioner on the
record in the proceedings."

If nothing else, your invariably angry responses have led me to learn
the truth rather than taking your word for it!

I urge the OP to be wary of misinformation on Usenet.

This is how it would happen in the A.C.T.;
Small claims application fee is around $54 I'm told.
Costs cannot be awarded.
First, a mediation session is held before it goes before a
registrar/magistrate. You are NOT allowed legal representation in
this mediation.
It will probably take at least a month before it goes to the next
step.
So Uniden send their in-house lawyer, who's already on a full time
wage, hence costing them practically nothing.
You have to pay out of pocket for a lawyer if you want a chance of
defending yourself against such a corporation.

Even if it doesn't go this far, mediating over statutory warranty
rights is hardly worth it IMO when you're talking about such a small
amount of money.

So Rod, thanks for motivating me to find the truth.

I know I've said this before but, out of respect for my sanity I'll
try not to provoke your belligerence ever again.

Complete and utter drivel, as always from you.

All you have to do is escalate the problem past the stupid

usually do understand what the law requires on that.

And if they dont, the small claims system will soon

You have to pay out of pocket for a lawyer if you want a
chance of defending yourself against such a corporation.

Soorree, legal parasites aint allowed in the
small claims system of the state she's in, you
pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fuckwit

Even if it doesn't go this far, mediating over statutory
warranty rights is hardly worth it IMO when you're
talking about such a small amount of money.

Wrong when the small claims system is rather
biased in favor of the consumer and may well
tell Uniden to give her a brand new handset or a
full refund and that would be her choice, not Uniden's

So Rod, thanks for motivating me to find the truth.

Pity about your ear to ear dog shit that got in the
road of that. You cant even manage to get the
jurisidiction right, let alone the detail in that wrong one.

Cant even manage to find the relevant legislation.

I know I've said this before but, out of respect for my sanity

No such animal with pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fuckwits
