Check 2 areas,capacitors c102 c103 c104 for burnt joints all in deflection cct.and burnt connector at scan coil at tube end,if its this second problem c102 and line output transistor may also be faulty.

hello,yes you are to look at the dry joint connectors,that is where the fault came from.i would suggest you visit an authorized repairer to help you give a proper check on the dry joint if you arenot electronically inclined so as not to compound the problem.

I reviewed the user guide for that model, and I only see that it is an answering machine. I may indeed be wrong, but is there a chance you have a different model unit? Regardless of the model, normally you have to put the base in registration mode simultaneously when the handset it put in registration mode like you were doing before. If you do not have the user guide you can join Beoworld.org for $27 a year and download it for "free". I am curious to know if you have a different model or if you can register cordless handsets to the 1200. Maybe you can post an update. Just learning this model myself. Good Luck
