Same issue. One day I walk in my den and the phone is at Please wait..., the Handsfree/Mute LED is blinking, and there's a tick TOCK sound (fainter tick when LED is off, louder TOCK when the LED is on). Tried unplugging for hours, 'raking' the buttons, unplugging all cords. It is fairly old and perhaps the logic board has failed.

Replace the curly cord or the handset, you can test both with any other phone.

This model of phone does not have voicemail so you must be getting the service from another provider. The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) is triggered by a message from the voicemail provider. If you are using a provider other then the company that provides the dialtone on your phone it is unlikely that company will be able to provide the MWI message. If you do have Voicemail with the provider of your dialtone then call and make sure they have it set up for activating you message waiting indicator there is the visual option that uses the lights on your phone and the LCD display and there is the audible option that provides a stutter dialtone when you go offhook. Some companies do both by default you will want to make sure they are providing the visual MWI alert. There are some compatiblity issues to consider but this particular phone is known to work very well with most carriers. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

Seems to be a known issue. The normal way is to disconnect the main control box unit. There is a video in the link https://www.google.com/search?q=wo+lines+stuck+on+a+Norstar+phone ..

Check handset cords

Set System Time 1-Feature **TIME 2-Password: BASIC 3-Change time as prompted in the display

You are probably inadvertantly did a busy station signal to sta 24 and are still queued up to it. Call 24 AND have them ANSWER to clear it. You may have to do it multiple time as most systems will allow 8 stations in the queue

Does it light up? Does the speakerphone work? Have you swapped the cords and handsets?

I'm have trouble seeing through the internet and do not know what make or model you are referring to? Have you tried being ON THE HANDSET and then pressing the handsfree/speakerphone key?

Make sure its plugged in right.

Try swapping them with phones that are working. Make sure they are not in DND as well.
