VVX 400 screen switches due to sunlight

[swagoner]

I've got an issue and it isn't just one phone. We have 10 VVX 400 phones and when the sunlight shines in the window directly on them the screen starts to go haywire, flipping through the last dialed page and the main page.

We found that if you cover the line key with something it stops doing it.

Anyone else having this and any solutions for this besides getting rid of the sunlight? It is a constant arguement over closing the blinds because the people near the windows are having this issue.

We actually RMA'd the first one as we thought it was a hardware issue. Turns out it isn't just the one phone. They were unable to duplicate at the time - further testing on our end showed it being related to sunlight.

Hello swagoner,

A RMA will not be sufficient as the support engineers would need to look at the hardware and get the relevant team to investigate the root cause and see if this affects a certain batch of manufactured units.

Steffen,

I am the reseller and the first unit in question was returned to us. It was recently returned to Polycom as part of an RMA. If I provide that RMA number will someone be able to investigate this issue?

Thank you

Hello telephonydepot,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

I doubt it as the RMA process is different and returns the units back to manufacturing and it is hard to find an individual unit once it is this system.

The best idea is to check with our support team and make them aware of this post and drop my name and possibly they can intercept the unit.

In any case they can work with yourself to get this escalated via the correct channels and get it the attention it requires.
