It is not a directly computer related question, however..

I just bought on eBay a Polycom Soundpoint telephone (not VoIP), allegedly 3-line. The seller was a fraudster and I got caught in the trap. She said it was a "demo" but left a room to believe that this demo could be a full working prototype.

In short, it was DOA. I have had a 3-line Polycom Soundpoint for years. I tried to test the new phone with the parts of the old one and it became clear that the "demo" was dead.

I opened the box. I found two PCBs inside but no connections between them. They are just sitting there.

The handset of the "demo" does not work if attached to the "old" working Polycom.

Any advice as to how to make it a working phone?

Thanks,

Make it into a working phone by duplicating the wiring it's
missing, copied from your other phone. Since the handset
doesn't work either it may be empty so you'll need to open
and fill it with whatever's-needed too. I'd price a
replacement before fooling with it too much though, since it
seems (by your question) that you're not adept at circuit
board wiring and reverse-engineering it at least enough to
realize what's needed.
 
Thanks.
