jamesV Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Brad, You might have tried this but, is it the same thing from both "Out 1" and "Out 2"? How old is the unit? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc48 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 yes i checked the line in with a good dial tone but the 1&2 out have a sound like a open line. i have pushed the "reset" button on the back and also unplugged the unit. Still the same. Unit is probably 2 yrs. old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 It sounds like your Monster unit took a power surge through the phone line and stopped it. Contact Monster under the warranty. Surge supressors with metal oxide varistors wear out due to stopping power spikes. It is better than loss of your equipment. I use series type supressors for my gear. The amps in particular sound better and so far, the series types have not failed. Furman is the brand I'm using. They do use an MOV for lightening hits, but most supression is series type that does not restrict current. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Sorry for no other help but what Bill said. Contact Monster on Monday. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc48 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Ok thank you both very much. The only thing that happened was a car hit a pole very close to the house and knocked the power out, after that i had the phone line problem could that cause a "surge" of some kind?

Guest " " Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 it sounds like the 2600 did it's job. now the question is the cost of shipping+repair+return shipping vs buying another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 If the only thing that does not work is the phone circuit, then a Radio Shack phone line suge protector will get you up and running. They are inexpesnsive. There is a model that is for laptop computers that has one outlet and dual phone output jacks. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
