Ah, famous last words! I was hard at work on the InfoGear iPhone episode, and suddenly the display contrast looked very dark, and the adjustment dials stopped working. And this thing is a BEEYATCH to disassemble. While taking it apart, 2 capacitors loosely fell out of the unit.

So it's broke. What's next? Thankfully, Steve from Mac84 is going to attempt to repair it. In the meantime, I found an online seller who had another unit; it's shipping to me now!

Sadly, this episode will likely not come out in February, but I will release it as soon as possible! Meanwhile, enjoy some of these behind-the-scenes pics. See the one with the Raspberry Pi? I'm using that to simulate a dial-up connection so I can get the iPhone online! Stay tuned…

Special thanks to Savvy Sage for helping me research this episode. Also, thanks to Brainiac Brent for helping me test the hardware, and thanks to Steve from Mac84 for helping me configure the Pi (and suppling components) AND for repairing the iPhone. Lots of teamwork on this one. 👏

Always happy to help! Such a shame the unit broke while you were working on it…I know how it feels.

Johnny Cha

Shame that it didn’t work. But hopefully it should be fixed later before the episode releases!

Mac84

Well, these things happen! Hopefully you can at least have one example up and running for the video. :-)

Hey, I could help you set up FreePBX on your Linux server, so you could run these IP phones to demonstrate. I can also source for you a telephony card that you can add to your server to give analog phones a system to dial through. It'd be cool to contribute to your channel more, so hit me up if you'd like some help!

Alex Smith

Yes, a telephony card could work with that. Look up Digium TDM cards, and let me know if you have any servers that have Conventional PCI or PCI-Express expansion capabilities. We'd need one of those.

Your storage server, that ran Linux (the last time I looked you had one for storing your video footage) would be appropriate for this. Let me know and I can look around. It'd be great to chat with you one on one about this. Are you available on Discord?
