D-Link DIR-615 B2

DIR-615 HW Ver. B2 -FW 2.20 When Shipped

1 X Stone 10V 1000uF
3 X Nippon-Chemicon 25V 220uF KY Series

marvell 99e6060-rcj1
atheros ar5416-ac1a
other chip covered by heatsink (aluminum/thermal pad)

I quickly took a few pics.. Should the Stone come out? Higher voltage replacement? Router works fine just havent had it running in a few months..

Thanks,

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

You don't need to increase the voltage, Stone are just really crappy caps and prone to failure. I'd replace it with a KY cap, is this on the PSU or the mainboard of the switch?

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Yes, replace Stone on site... They are completely unreliable and last only a very short time...

The D-Link adapters use Teapo I think so they're good for a year or two. If you're smart, you'll get a quality 5V 2.5a or 12v 1a adapter to run your router if you need a high level of reliability.

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Wow.. Super fast responses .. Ok I will see about exact replacements.. I was just about to post about my xtreme gigabit DIR-655.. I don't know if I ended up hitting submit..

DLINK DIR-655 Extreme Gigabit HW Ver. B1 FW2.00NA when shipped.. Working.. Main Router

1 X 16V Lelon 1000uF
5 X 6.3V Lelon 1000uF
1 X 10V Lelon 100uF

All Lelon Caps? See Pics.. Would you pull them all or?

Is that a thermal pad on the main chip or a "pad" to hide the identity? Feels harder then a thermal pad..

Thanks,

EDIT: Could if I put in a 16V if thats all if have still 1000uF?

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Lelon, but which series? What are their dimensions (W x H)? No idea about the thermal pad.

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

My mistake Lelon RXW Series -

I'm just working on some pics quickly to put up..

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Yeah you could put in a 16V cap. Unfortunately, Lelon caps are also of low quality. They would technically work, but who knows for how long

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2 / DIR-655 B1

Thats what I thought about Lelon.. I think I saw some green ones in the hall of shame.. I've had the 655 for atleast 1.5 years and the 615 for 2-3 years.. All work.. I hooked a linksys back up that I recapped the other day.. Thought I would check all my other gear.. Unfortunately I got 1 more bad cap suspected bad cap on the linksys befsr41.. Probably gonna recap it for long term use..

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Yeah preventative recapping is always good Can't see those pictures very well, do you think you could reupload them using the attach function in the "Go Advanced" window?

[Yatti420]

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

I just uploaded.. Sorry not best quality ... Just snapped them quickly.. I need to find my iron..

I only have 1 x 16V 1000uF KZG or some 1000uF 16v Sanyo WG if they will fit.. Might be 2 tight.. For the 615 which I will start with..

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

KZG are extremely problematic too, a dud series from a great brand, also avoid KZJ (Doesn't it suck how many low quality caps are out there?) I would use the Sanyo if you can get it in there, those are very high quality

[Yatti420]

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Ok.. I will see about the WG.. They will just fit if so.. Does any1 know the max size a dlink dir-655 will take?

I just went through my pulled dead caps.. Had a few in a jar.. KZG 6.3v 820uF.. Should I just junk the 16v 1000uF one I have? It was bought new.. Hasn't been tested..

WG seems a tad 2 big in the 615.. I may just wait until another time..

I'm running 2 switches and a cable modem off of an Astron RM-35.
Overkill, but reliable

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

I'd have to look into something like that.. They would allow for all the tips/jack compatibility you need? For like dif model/size power jack?

[Yatti420]

Re: D-Link DIR-615 B2

Bump..

Looking for recommendations on recap of the D-Link.. I have some Sanyo 16v 1000uf I believe but its 8 X 20 just a little 2 big I think for the D-Links.. I'm thinking 10x16 or so to be safe.. Recap all the 25V caps aswell?

Thanks,
