13 | 5 | manawyrm | Power supply is called STN20, output DC 22.5V; 0.9A. Center positive, 5.5/2.5mm barrel jack. |
14 | The RCA connectors are (from left to right): Audio out, Video out, Video in, Audio in |

16 | h3. Mini-DIN / RS232 |
||
17 | |||
18 | 19 | manawyrm | The Mini-DIN (8pin) connector carries a RS232 serial. It was used to connect to auxiliary devices like relay control boxes (to alert deaf people of calls), VCRs (remote control) and PCs (for firmware updates). |
19 | 13 | manawyrm | We have a copy of the 1.2 firmware update and the RS232 communication protocol. |
20 | 10 | manawyrm | |
21 | RS232 pinout is given _without_ Null-Modem reversal (aka it's meant to be a male connector), reverse RXD/TXD and RTS/CTS for a female connector. |
||
22 | 12 | manawyrm | Serial settings (for debug output) seems to be 19200, 8n2. |

75 | |||
76 | The bottom cover plate has 6 Phillips screws and is clipped together at the bottom. Use multiple guitar picks to get them free. |
||
77 | 2 | manawyrm | The plastic does not seem to be brittle (yet), some force is OK. |

87 | 1 | manawyrm | Unscrew the 7 Phillips screws attaching the plastic shield. Be careful with the speaker wires on the right, they are not detachable! |
88 | 3 | manawyrm | Lift the plastic shield out of the way to the right. When re-assembling, make sure the hook-mechanism and speaker are correctly in-place. |

91 | 4 | manawyrm | h2. Display/camera disassembly |
92 | |||
93 | 1 | manawyrm | Disassembling the display/camera unit is a bit tricky. You'll need a 10mm socket (and possibly socket extension)! |
94 | 4 | manawyrm | |
95 | 1 | manawyrm | Start by removing the 4 screws on the connector: |
96 | 27 | laforge | {{thumbnail(IMG_3650.JPG)}} |
97 | 4 | manawyrm | |
98 | then remove the 3 screws in the top of the unit. |
||
99 | The sides of the display/camera unit are covered with round covers. They can be pulled out with a bit of force. |
||
100 | 27 | laforge | {{thumbnail(IMG_3652.JPG)}} |
101 | 4 | manawyrm | |
102 | 1 | manawyrm | Use a 10mm socket to unscrew the nuts on both sides. |
103 | Lift the connector cover. This is tricky! Please fill in a good way to do this. The author broke 2 plastic clips by doing it: |
||
104 | 27 | laforge | {{thumbnail(IMG_3653.JPG)}} |
105 | 1 | manawyrm | |
106 | Remove both bolts (and the washers). The swivel piece can now be bent inwards slightly with a bit of force to get it out. |
||
107 | 27 | laforge | {{thumbnail(IMG_3654.JPG)}} |
108 | 1 | manawyrm | Unscrew the 2 remaining screws holding the display unit together. |
109 | |||
110 | 24 | laforge | There are clips all around the display/camera unit. Use guitar picks again and open the display. |

112 | h2. Common faults |
||
113 | |||
114 | 25 | laforge | h3. Faulty display hotbar |
115 | |||
116 | 7 | manawyrm | Symptoms: Missing (pixel) rows / columns on the (24x2) character LCD. |
117 | Fix: Try and reheat the hotbar (~180°C) with a clean soldering iron tip and a lot of pressure |
||
118 | |||
119 | Symptoms: Garbled characters/stuck bit |
||
120 | Fix: HD44780 interface is connected via Hotbar as well. |
||
121 | 1 | manawyrm | Find out which bits (D0-D7) are affected and solder wires for those bits directly to the LCD |
122 | 24 | laforge | |

||
124 | 1 | manawyrm | {{thumbnail(Bildschirmfoto 2022-03-11 um 13.07.27.png)}} |
125 | |||
126 | 25 | laforge | h3. Faulty display |
127 | |||
128 | 1 | manawyrm | Symptoms: No LCD output at all |
129 | Fix: Buy a new LCD. You'll need one with HD44780 ROM code A00 charset (the Japanese/Kana charset). The 0xE1 character should be "ä" (a with Umlauts). |
||
130 | |||
131 | 25 | laforge | We couldn't find any mechanically 100% compatible model, but the NewHaven NHD-0224AZ-FSW-GBW is electrically and character set compatible. If you want to do the re-work, the following recommendations apply: |
132 | * remove the transparent plastic carrier for the old LCD module |
||
133 | * remove the old LCD module (just tear the flex cable from the top side of the board) |
||
134 | * use solder wires to connect the new LCD to vias on the PCB (see picture) |
||
135 | * either fix the contrast voltage to GND, or re-work the existing contrast voltage biasing circuit. The original Siemens circuit consists of a 5V PWM feeding into a resistive divider of two 24kOhms resistors. Replace the GND-facing resistor with a 2.2kOms (or even lower). Play with the contrast settings (+/- buttons while receiver is on-hook) to see if you hit the right voltage range. Adjust resistive divider as needed. |
||
136 | * re-work the plastic cover that is located between the two boards as needed. You can either make more space for the LCD module by creatng a cut-out, or you can use it as-is and adjust the spacers on the "video" side. |

183 | h2. Prototype |
||
184 | |||
185 | @manawyrm stumbled across a suspected T-View prototype: |
||
186 | |||

||
188 | |||

||
190 | |||
191 | {{thumbnail(DSC00026.JPG)}} {{thumbnail(DSC00027.JPG)}} |
||
192 | |||
193 | Noticeable differences include: |
||
194 | - Green LEDs (instead of Red LEDs) |
||
195 | - White printing on the connectors (instead of embossed text in the plastic) |
||
196 | - Handset has a magenta T-symbol, instead of the white T-symbol |
||
197 | - HD44780 display is connected via jumper wires (instead of hot bar flat-flex cables) |
||
198 | 38 | manawyrm | - ProfiTel70 / Phone board is powered only by S0 bus voltage, not through DC in |
199 | 34 | manawyrm | - 0.1" pin header populated on the phone board |
200 | - handwritten label for firmware flash IC on the phone board |
||
201 | - PLCC socket for firmware flash IC on the video board |
||
202 | - VCP is still manufactured by IIT, later split off into 8x8 |
||
203 | - bad mechanical fit (RJ45 latch cannot be accessed without tools, recessed too deep) |
||
204 | 39 | manawyrm | - CNC toolmarks are visible in plastic housing (CNC aluminium soft mold was probably used for injection molding) |
205 | 1 | manawyrm | - generic FRIWO FW 7324/3 24V power supply, instead of the 22.5V STN20 PSU |
206 | 37 | manawyrm | |
207 | The broken display was replaced with the new Newhaven type (see above): |

214 | 1 | manawyrm | |
215 | There are four known firmware versions: |

221 | |||
222 | Telefon/Codec/VCP/Jade firmware versions can be checked in the service menu (see above). |
||
223 | 26 | laforge | |
224 | The firmware consists actually of different images for different processors on the unit. |
||
225 | |||
226 | |_.Filename|_.Format|_.Purpose| |
||
227 | |vcvcp.bin|binary|presumably for the video codec/processor| |
||
228 | 38 | manawyrm | |vsetrel.abs|srec|for the VSet (telephone) board, derived from ProfiTel70| |
229 | 26 | laforge | |vcodrel.abs|srec|contains strings related to H.261, H.221 and VCP| |
230 | |||
231 | The Firmware update utility running on the PC side is called Fload68k.exe "M68k Flash-Loader V 3.31 (C) 1997 Orsys GmbH" and it talks about three parts: |
||
232 | * "Talkset" (abs format, programmed via SPI or "RS232 direct") |
||
233 | * "VCODEC" (abs format, programmed via via "RS232 direct") |
||
234 | * "VCP" (bin format, separate programming mode "VCP") |
