ge31591 skype phone is dead problem

[heiko]

I just recently purchased this phone and only used it for a day or two. We went on vacation and as a safety precaution i unplugged all electronics in my house. The cradle charger of my new ge31591 was unplugged too. The handset doesn't have a off switch so i just let it sit in the cradle. It must have run out of power eventually. Now we are back in town and i plugged the charger back in. Now the problem: the handset doesn't turn back on. Since it doesn't have power button i just keep charging it but it just doesn't come alive. What can i do? I already checked if the battery pack is plugged in properly.

Please try removing the rechargable batterys and charging them in a dedicated charger.

It sounds like your batterys are completely discharged and the base station is having issues with that.

Hi, I have the same problem. I've tried two new sets of rechargeable batteries but they will not take the charge although the charge light is on. When I put non-chargeable batteries in the phone works but can't get the pin number when I press the base unit call button. If you get a solution please let me know.

I now have the identical problem of a fatally dead battery; where do I buy replacements?
