I have owned my Pearl for about 4 years I stopped using it around 2 years ago due to the trackerball not working correctly. i have spradicly pluged it in to retrieve old numbers, pictures, see if there was info on it and it used to be fine even if a good 6 mths had passed it would still charge turn on and function just with the same trackerball issue. I recently got it back out and tried to charge it. 4 different chargers later i still can not even get it to aknowledge the charger by way of the red led. Any ideas? i thought battery straight away but that does not explaine when its plugged in to the mains via charger still no red ledd or any sighns of life?!?!? Anybody care to have a guess as to the fault?

Your initial thought is probably the answer, the battery has internally short circuited due to age. In this case, the charger cannot produce enough energy to overpower the battery's consumption. While I do not recommend trying this, a tech center I worked at would "shock" a battery back to life by connecting it to a car charger for a few seconds to eek a few more weeks or months of use out of one. Again, I don't recommend this as a battery can explode and cause harm when treated this way.

If that is newly installed OS try to check the driver of your laptop is correct. Another option, check your keyboard language settings on the COntrol panel.

How do I change the message... we set it a few years ago...can't find book
Oops, I posted the info for this on the VTech problem below sorry.

To change the message, first make sure your phone has the correct date, time, year, am or pm, etc.

Now, to Record Greeting - if you don't record your own greeting, a pre-recorded greeting message is used.

So, try this:

1. (Menu) press
2 (Go to Answering Device" with up/down arrow, press OK
3 (Go to "Record Greeting" with up/down arrow, press OK
4 After the handset beeps, speak clearly about 20 cm (8 inches) away from the
microphone.
5 To stop recording, press (OK)
6 (OFF)

Hope this helps.

First, Iam not a fan of flushing a trans. Owned a trans shop years ago.
You may have caused some solenoid issues, with the clutch material and cooler sediment.
Work on the ABS,TSC issues. Wheel Speed Sensors may be going and just a coincidence, a couple weeks later.
Make sure the fluid is correct for your vehicle and at the correct level.
I pray you didn't go to one of the Quick Lube Franchises.

Indicators only work spradically
Hi Team,

found a good garage who diagnosed the problem was due to a failed relay; relay and stalk have since been replaced. The windscreen motor is a separate issue and also needs replacing soon. So I'm happy my elderly Merc is back on the road again.

Brinks safe
As I understand that safe has four numbers to the combo. 1) turn the dial to the right passing the first number 4 times stopping at that number the next time around. 2) Turn the dial to the left passing the second number 2 times and stopping on that number the next time around. 3)turn the dial to the right passing the third number 1 time and stop on that number the next time around. 4) Turn the dial to the left stopping on the last number. 5) Insert the key into the cylindrical lock and turn it to the right.

Cannot Hear people talking unless on speakerphone
Pearl's speaker volume is generally pretty low, but quite OK for a reasonably quiet room. Make sure you press the 'P' key to turn on the speaker phone. You will get an icon in the display window which indicates it. Also, of course, make sure you turn the volume all the way using the keys on the side. Watch the volume slider icon to make sure it's all the way up.
