I've seen dead CallPilots before, but not like this. Client has a CallPilot 100 and they cannot access it (Inactive Feature). The "1" light is a continous, fast-flashing green. Upon re-boot, the system appears to go through the POST song/dance, but the flashing green light eventually returns.

Is this system toast? Software?

:confused:

Sounds like it could be the power supply, the old power supplies are known to get too hot and go bad, you may want to start with that. You can connect a laptop to the serial port and watch it oot up too.

It doesn't look like a PWS cause system goes through the cicle. I would replace the hall think or reseat Flash card..

I was at site 2 weeks ago same problem,CP had 1 light on port 1 lit.The power supply was very hot. I replaced it and system rebooted right up. I always carry spares in truck now.

What's a "hall think" and how do I replace it?

I meant replace the Voice Mail including software.

Isn't that Redneck talk for Whole Thing ???

Yes, start with the power supply.

yeah i called my vendor and he doesn't carry hall thinks in stock here in canada their called

Over the years, I've seen a whole range of different responses (flashing lights, steady lights, no lights) that were cured by replacing the power supply. I've had two software corruptions that also gave these varied responses. I would start with the power supply first (like everybody else) before I get into the "hall think".

Yes it's really funny that I made so many mistakes in 2 words but I think it is not a PS because according to Danny booting process is going well and only then light will comes up flashing. But I agree that PS is the easiest way to start.
