    3Com gigabit switch issues

    I picked up a 3Com 3C1671600 16-port gigabit switch to upgrade my place to full duplex gigabit and initially it worked fine.
    Then within a few hours it started randomly booting people not only off the wired network, but even the wireless network which was managed by a TrendNet access point.
    I cracked it open expecting bad caps like the linksys 8-port in my room but nope. It's full of nothing but Rubycon's and KGZ Nichicons and none show any signs of failure. I'm stumped as to what's up[ but can't fully write off blame on the switch yet. I didn't get the original 12V AC adapter so I don't know how many amps this thing needs as it's not printed on the underside (it just only states "MAX 3.5A". I plugged it into a bench supply and it only dres 1200ma so I am running it off a 2A power brick right now.
    Are what I'm seeing the signs of the swich not getting enough juice or something else?

      Pictures, a ripple scan with a scope, or an in circuit ESR scan. The more you can supply the better.

        External AC adapter might also be the culprit. They aren't exactly reliable.

          When did Nichicon launch a KGZ series?

          See if Power-'in' has a fuse on the board and use that as your guide.

            I'm totally confused about your mentions o the KGZ's.
            So either they are a bad bad model or they don't really exist.

                  those labeled nichicon are...just nichicons but they look kinda fake, but I don't think they are from the research I just did 5 seconds ago

                  keep the nichicon, replace all the kgz's

                      the 2 brown ones in the back, one pretty much dead center and the one closest to the front. All nichicon. (those with vertical markings)

                      i'd replace the chemicon KZG's and see if that fixes it. i bet it will..

                        OH,, so that's what a Nichicon KGZ looks like.
