    • Whoever designed the wireless module really didn't want anyone to know what was inside. The very thick EMI shield is soldered, crimped, and epoxied on.

    • The shield took about 20 minutes to remove with diagonal cutters, 2 pairs of pliers, and 3 metal spudgers.

    • Needless to say, the shield is irreversibly damaged and the wireless module will probably never work again.

    • Toshiba TB31261AF cordless telephone RF chip

    • Ceramic resonators

    • Unidentified square ceramic components with 2 cylindrical holes in them horizontally (anyone who has an idea what they are, please comment.)

    • The back of the board says that it was manufactured on August 29, 2001, making the phone 14 years old at the time of writing.

    • Interestingly, the Toshiba TB31261AF is designed for a 900MHz cordless telephone, but this is a 2.4GHz model.

  14. GE 27990G3 Cordless Phone Teardown: paso 14, imagen 1 de 2 GE 27990G3 Cordless Phone Teardown: paso 14, imagen 2 de 2

    • Phone is held together with only phillips screws.

    • Battery, the most likely part to fail, is a standard component and is easily replaceable.

    • Case is difficult to open.

    • Wireless module is very hard to replace and impossible to repair.

    • All wires (except for the battery) are soldered to the circuit board instead of using connectors.
