Could be a broken line voltage inducer but can you post a picture of how you have everything plugged in just to make sure it's all correct?

Here are some pictures, I feel it could be a broken line inducer... If it is, would I be able to send back to you? I ordered the DreamPi from you back in 2020.

You can get some more debug info, and check what is happening when the DC is dialing to the dreampi.
Log in to the dreampi console [user: pi, pass: raspberry], then run the following command.
tail -f /var/log/syslog
This will start spitting out dreampi debug info. When attempting to dial out from the DC, you should see "AT" commands in the log quite regularly. If you don't see any AT commands in the logfile then it means the DC isn't communicating at all with the USB modem.
If you can see the AT commands, it means that the ISP settings are possibly misconfigured. Work on getting things running with the browsers first [dreamkey, planetweb etc] as they give good access to these settings. Throw in a picture of your ISP settings and/or logfile above if you want some further troubleshooting help
Also, I would highly recommend trying an alternative power-supply if you have one. Voltage-warnings in the logs shows the unit isn't getting enough power, and as the LVI is powered by USB it is not going to be able to provide enough voltage there either which will produce no dial-tone errors.

They're not really worth repairing, especially with the crazy costs for international shipping but if you send me an email we can figure something out.jeikusan wrote:Here are some pictures, I feel it could be a broken line inducer...
