It seems to be dead. LED is not glowing not but the power adapter is working good .i measured the voltage ie 5.2v.

Same Problem

Feb 28, 2009

-   I had the same problem. No LED light, but the page phone button still worked. I had a multi function adapter, that comes with several different types of plug ends, for a multitude of devices. You can find these at your local Walmart or electronics store. I plugged it in and wham, I had power. I've had my VTech for almost 3 years, but I am guessing the adapter failed to supply enough power. Hope this helps someone.-   Deathzone

-   I have the same exact problem: paging works, but no dial tone.  Vonage will send a replacement adapter in 4 days.
Since there were 2 mentions that a 6v worked, I gat a replacement adapter at fry's. Adapter specs are: 
Rhino Univ AC Adapter 1800mA (PST-1800ME/FU) AC100-240v, 50/60Hz adjusting automatically. DC: 3, 4.5, 6, 7, 9, 12v, 1800mA max
I thought this would work at the 6v setting, but no go. 
If some one can tell me an alternative adapter they are using besides the ones from Vonage, which I suspect are cheaply made, that would be helpful.

-   Identical problem as far as I can tell. Power adapter working (page function works) but no ready light and no phone functions. failed a couple of months after 1 year warranty ran out. All sources (Best Buy, Radio Shack, Buy.com, Circuit City and Office Depot) I have tried are out of stock. And I've been out of phone service for over a month.

Tried rebooting and new power adapter. No change. Vonnage help desk not much help and they are out of stock as well. I suspect a class action failure.-   Old Luddite

-   I have the same problem and vonage told me I will have to buy a new base unit, but they are currently running about $100. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know. Otherwise I will buy a different type of device that is not so expensive.-   aiabilly

I 2 have had the exact same problem twice .
Fortunately I have a lot of wallwarts around, and sure enough,
a 6v one does the job.

Why they don't let people buy replacement units and have them ship back the broken ones for reimbursement is beyond me.

This is a known issue with the model of phone. I am now on my 4th unit and still have the same problem every 3 months or so. Vonage will send you a new power adaptor at no charge. This does fix the problem.

I too measured 5 volts and they couldn't explain how it could still be the "wallwart". I tried a 6 volt wallwart and it seems to work fine.
