I believe, for a single line phone, your only required to connect the red and green wires (at least that's how I have it). I would suggest attempting to trace the path of the wires. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the wiring (could have broken a wire within the insulating) and everything appears to be connected properly. If that does not work, run new wiring. Where ever your (bedroom) wiring connects to the main box (from the telephone company) disconnect. At the end of the (old) wiring, secure the new wiring, but try to make it as un-obtrousive (sp?) as possible. I usually fold each end of the wiring into a 'J' and interconnect the two sets of wires, then wrap them well with electrical tape. Now, go back up to your room and pull the wiring through (careful not to seperate the old wire from the new and not to pull too hard). Make sure you retain about a good foot extra on each end for 'mistakes'. Quickly connect the new wiring to the main junction box (from the phone company) and the jack in your room and test the connectivity. If it works, now you spend the time to tidy things up. If it does not work, you have a bigger problem.
