I see the Nitsuko forum is as dead as the phones are.
Anyway, the wires are like fused together and I believe shorting out the system.
When the wires are separated, it will turn on.

I would advise anyone considering a Nitsuko phone to run for the hills. I have already purchased a samsung system for when this piece of junk Nistuko stops working.
Thanks.
