In response to John Morgan's query which read <<
Also, I have 2 Apple full Minidocks. With one, the telephone connection to the internal modem works, on the other I get "the modem cannot detect a dial tone". Has anyone been inside a Apple minidock (there are 3 torx screws on the bottom). Is the telephone connection fused in the minidock? The telephone plug looks OK (the 4 gold wire contacts seem in place and not corroded). The large plug that connects to the Duo's back looks clean with no corrosion or apparent damage. I'm looking for suggestions to fix this problem. >> There is a modem interface card inside the Apple Minidock. I have had occasion to replace it on my Apple minidock I used the modem interface card from my full-size Apple Duo Dock as the replacement. I don't know where you would find a minidock modem interface card but if you do it's not too difficult to replace it. Here's what i remember of what i did to replace the Modem Interface Card. 1) with all connectors removed from the minidock, remove the torx screws at the bottom of the minidock. 2) separate the top plastic from the bottom/back plastic and minidock assembly. You will now see the modem interface card along with rest of the minidock assembly resting in the bottom/back plastic. please make sure you are properly grounded or make sure you do not touch any circuitry while performing the next steps. 3) If there is a screw(s) holding down the modem interface card, remove it (them). 4) I believe there are torx screws on each side of the pds connector. I believe i loosened the torx screw to the right (if you are facing the front of the minidock) of the pds connector. This allowed me to slightly pry up the minidock assembly slide the modem interface card to the right and therefore off the connector to the main minidock assembly. (I may have had to loosen the torx screw to the left of the pds connector also in order to get the modem interface card off the main minidock assembly but i just don't remember.) Install your replacement and put back together. Hope this helps, good luck, stephen kenda ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
