It is annoying because my daughter always not answering the door. I removed the screws and the back cover. I found that there are two tiny spring loaded copper poles that are responsible to connect the inside electronic with the outside contacts. I think they failed.
The Ring switch and contacts need to handle the current as much as 3 ampere required to ring the mechanical doorbell. I put tiny copper coils which I made around the spring loaded contacts to improve the connectivity to the back cover. I carefully put back the cover. To be safe, may not be necessary , I added some resistance to the connection to the door bell.
The goal is to reduce the current to the doorbell to below 1 ampere. In my case, I add 18 ohms, my doorbell is about 8 ohms.
I have a 24 volt transformer. Now I have a working Ring 2 that will sound my chime inside. Thank you so much! Fixed my problem?

If you have been unable to identify the problem, going through the article will help you know what to look for. Depending on the Ring Doorbell version you have purchased, the installation process will be different.
Different models either need to be connected to an internal doorbell chime via a Ring Power Pro kit, or the device will come with a battery. If you want to use a Ring Device that requires a wired connection, you can use a plug-in adapter as well.
Each device comes with an instruction manual, and you can also look up video instructions for installing the device correctly. When installing the Ring Power Pro-Kit, ensure that both the wires are connected to the internal bell mechanism and that the screw is tightened.
Keep in mind that if you have a mechanical internal chime mechanism, the installation process should not interfere with the chime setup. Ring Doorbells require a Wi-Fi connection to function properly.
The Ring devices support only wireless routers Hence, before you install a Ring device, ensure that your wireless router has the right configurations. If you have an old wireless router and find that your device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on its own, the problem may be with your router. When the Ring device is out of range or too close to the edge of the range, it may lose connection frequently or there might be a delay in its functioning.
To solve this issue, you can either move your wireless router closer to your Ring device to ensure it stays within the range or purchase an extender to extend your Wi-Fi range. However, the easiest solution would be to buy the Ring Chime Pro , which includes a built-in Wi-Fi range extender, as well as gives you an external chime that can be heard by everyone in the house.
Depending on your Ring Doorbell version, it will either require a battery source or a wired power source. Ring Devices require at least 16 volts AC to function properly; at approximately volt amps if the device is connected to the transformer or a plug-in adapter, or at approximately volt amps if it is connected directly to your doorbell.
