I now have hands in Spain, pulling a CMOS battery and retesting the power on this system.
Untested Hands
-
@Mike-Davis what was your experience with that? Did everything go smoothly?
-
Just turned my old iPhone 4 into a cordless phone for work.... It has the Otterbox Extended battery,.. been running Zoiper for 24 hours or so and the main battery is at 90% and the external about 50%...
Guess I'll add it to the dial group and see.
-
Maybe the power supply is dead..... I know this system worked before it was shipped as I set it up and tested it here!
Maybe I should have my untested hands in Spain try and do a paper-clip test on the power supply... it's only 12v. . .

Does the power supply doesn't have one of those 110/220V switches on it?

It does, and it's set for 230v, which is appropriate. When the system is connected to power and the button pressed, nothing happens.
So either the supply is dead or the motherboard is.
And since I don't want to risk having a novice perform a paperclip test of the power supply I'm at a stand still.

Is it under warranty?

@Dashrender I have the possibility of needed a windows box here and there. so might as well take that stupid thing but it all reality it will be a softphone
Seems like a great time to have a VM sitting somewhere you can remote into for that needed work, granting you less traveling weight.
-
@Dashrender I probably should. Travel weight really isn't that big of a deal we are driving down to TX so have plenty of room.

That's what I would do. A good desktop or laptop that is on and ready, or a VM in some cases but that triggers VDI, for admin purposes. Loaded with the right tools. Then all you need is remote access to that one system and a tablet becomes all powerful and flexible.

F***

That is considered a few flurries?
That's a whole lot of flurries...lol
-
@JaredBusch Apparently. Typically this time of year that would be a mild rain shower. There's a huge cold front sitting on top of us and it's going to be causing grief for a while.
