So apparently in 1993, Avon (the MLM (not that MLM (or that kind either))) commissioned a Soft Foam Telephone.

Testing in circuit, I'm seeing 2.1v across VSS/VDD on that chip.
The nominal voltage seems to be 2.5v? so that might be a problem -
@foone "significant white space and punctuation" kind of language
-
hmm. no, if this translated electrical characteristics table is at all correct, it should be fine down to 2v. So we're close, but not dangerously low.
-
this thing has a bunch of little caps and diodes and transistors. I've visually inspected it but I don't see any issues with any of them.

@foone This is like one of those old school restricted writing challenges! Write a novel without using the letter e! Seems like the perfect thing for a LLM, except they can't count letters and will tell you that the color of the sky is fish.
-
I'm getting the expected -51V on the input, so there's no problem with the cord or the PBX powering this
-
and the fuse is fine, I did test that.
-
Here's the translated(ish) schematic from the HM9102D datasheet.
-
I'm gonna assume this device is basically this design with with minimal changes.
-
@foone What a pun!
-
I'm suspicious of this goop. It looks like they hotglued the caps down, so... why would there be brown goop? Maybe these caps leaked out the bottom and it pooled under them.

@foone "im suspicious of this goop" is definitely a sentence

@Infoseepage If you write your novel in Chinese, you won't have to use a single letter of e.

@foone diagnosis: wrong goop

C2 & c9 are 47µF 16v caps
C6 & C8 are 100µF 16v caps
C7 is 1µF 50v cap -

@cinebox it's like I'm a doctor for a slimegirl, not an electronics repairer!

Desoldered them all. Let's test.
My cap meter is saying C7 is 1116nF, or 1.1µF. Close enough for jazz.
-
my MTester thing says it's got an ESR of 7 ohms, which is high, but I don't think this is gonna mind.
