I had unplugged the phone line and when i reconnected it, no dial tone, nothing on the screen and the triangle shapes blinking on the display

Unplug your fax from the phone line. Plug in a phone. Dial tone? Yes? then either fax is bad or the phone wire is bad.

No dial tone? Phone line dead.

Hi there!

For you to send a fax with the Brother Fax 775 you can try these steps:

1. First make sure that you have a dial tone by lifting the handset or just by pressing the hook button. Once you have verified you have a dial tone press the hook button again to return to the main screen or hang up the handset. LCD should display the date & time

If you don't have a dial tone make sure that the telephone line cord is connected on the fax machine's Line jack. If you don't have a dial tone still connect it to another working outlet. If you don't have a dial tone still connect a working telephone on the wall jack to see if you'll get a dial tone. If you get a dial tone on the regular phone then problem is either with the line cord or the fax machine.

2. Once you have the date & time on the LCD screen, Load the document that you want to send on the automatic document feeder which is directly above the LCD screen.

3. The LCD screen should change from the date/time to "Enter Fax No. & Press Start" Once you got this screen dial the fax number and then press Start.

Hope this helps. Rate if it works.

Thanks!

We called the phone company.....There was a problem up on the telephone pole. They fixed it, no charge.

It is a static buildup in the box. You will have to keep unpluging router for and cable for 10 seconds and reconnect each time.

make sure the line is connected right try replacing the cord or maby the lines in your area are down out of service this happens

In this case first we need to chk whether there is any dial tone on ur fax machine for that u need to Hit the Options button till u find an option saying On Hook Dial now hit select and it should give u a dial tone if it doesnt check the Phone Line Connections........... If it gives u a dial tone........... Unplug the Power Supply from the Printer........ Press and hold the Stop/Clear button and while holding the Stop/Clear button insert the Power Supply back to the Printer........ It will say clearing and then display a page where u need to Selct ur Country and the other details........ and as soon as this is done u can send and recieve faxes....... Thanku

You forgot to supply a model number, but is this a cordless with an answering machine or did the message light blink when you had messages from the phone company provided voice mail?

If it's the former, pressing the play button and/or holding down the ERASE button will make the messages disappear.

If it's the latter, here's where the fun begins. Message lamps are lit from a signal generated from the phone line. Stutter dial tone is usually the cause, and it could be just because you have a feature enabled. I think the cadence of the call forwarding dial tone is enough to set off MW, but I'm not there to hear it :-)

Try unplugging the phone completely, then plug it in without the outside line. I'm guessing the display will tell you there's no outside line, but what does the message waiting light do? Then plug in the line and see if it lights immediately or after some delay. It may test the line as soon as you plug it into the wall and be hearing the funny dial tone.

Comment back after you've done this.
