- Score the paint around the panel with a razor blade.
- Unscrew the panel and pull from the wall.
- Pull out the cords and cover the ends with electrical tape.
- Push the cords into the hole in the wall using a drywall patch kit.
- Attach the mesh and spackle over the patch. Sand and wipe clean.
- If your phone stops working or static develops on the line, your phone jack may need to be replaced.
To handle the phone jack wiring and replace it, follow these simple steps:
Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as a screwdriver and wire.
Install a new phone jack with two shining screws for hanging a wall phone.
Detach the black and yellow wires from the old plate and attach them to the same terminals on the new plate.
Disconnect the old jack from the faceplate using a punch down block. If the wires are too short, buy phone line splice kits and extend them.
Patch the hole in the wall or install a remodel. Verizon can do this for you, but they will charge you for repair of the jack or line.
Purchase a new wall jack and place the wires in the proper connections.
Unplug and disconnect lines before working to avoid shocks. Note wire colors and terminal locations before removing the old jack to ensure correct installation.
