How to disassemble a 7942 phone / clean hook switch

[bernhardczapp]

Hello,

does anyone have a guide how to disassemble a 7942/62 phone without damaging it?

Would be nice to know for example to clean the phone or to repair / replace hook switch.

Thanks,

Bernhard

You may have seen this, but I'll throw the link in for good measure.   https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2009132

There are two screws towards the top on the back of the phone (pretty obvious holes.)    Then there are two more screws under the ruber feet the the phone body rest on.

The 7942 seems to be different.

There are:

4 Screws on the back.

At the front:

-one at the hook switch

-there seem to be more screws under the bezel (around the display). Unfortunately I don't know how to remove the bezel.

Hi Bernhard,

I just took apart a broken 7942 to test the method, but

it seems like they may have changed the design at some point

as this one had 9 screws on the back and a plastic clip on the side

housing to the left of the Hookswitch. It seems like your 7942 may be

more like the method described here
