I just went into my office to hear an odd ticking sound. At first I thought it might have been a cooling fan on my desktop computer, but it turned out to be coming from the cordless phone sitting beside the tower. When I picked up the handset, it started ringing. I checked that it wasn’t really a call (no, normal dialtone when I turned on the line). Then, when I hung up, the phone started ringing continuously.
I finally got it to stop ringing, but it’s back to ticking. There’s no user-replaceable battery in the handset, so I’ll have to let it run down completely and recharge again to see if it’s just a battery issue or if the phone has gone bad. Irritating either way.
