Title says it all, this one had mixed results and thus mixed emotions... first time I haven't been able to finish a task like this!
After overcoming some access issues due to a very poor intercom, the first task looked quite straighforward - put the TV together and make sure it works. However the lack of some essential components meant it became more complicated - no screws means no stable platform means no useable TV in the bedroom! The carer who came in helped search, but no screws found meant part one was aborted.
Luckily part 2 turned out to be more achievable. Ms V has a new phone, a wireless one with a little docking station, which needed to be plugged into both the phone cable bit as into a socket for power. This was accomplished by guiding some cables behind a seat and table legs, ending up with the phone right next to her chair! After a little charging and setting the date & time, a little test to see the phone working and voila, at least something done!
Remaining puzzle is now how to get hold of the right screws and finish the TV.

Well done for trying all you could for this mission Peter. We're in touch with the referrer and hoping to come up with a plan to get those screws so we can get this task finished.

Well done Peter on getting part 2 successfully completed and hopefully part 1 can be achieved in due course with the right parts.
