Re: Linksys EF2S24, V2 not working
I'd replace the startup cap first. If it can't hold a charge or filter properly, it just won't start up. (think of a semi-dead car battery. you might get it to start, but most of the time it won't fire up)
Check the datasheet of IC1 for the max. supply voltage (Vcc).
That's the minimum voltage you have to use for the (temporary) replacement startup cap.
A 100uF 25-35V (maybe 16V if the supply voltage for IC1 is actually just 12V.. go measure) would work, but delay the startup a bit (takes longer to charge up)
So if the datasheet says Vcc is max. 20V, a 25+V cap would be what you need.
However, if you measure the voltage to the Vcc pin and it's actually just 12V (pretty common), a 16V cap would work too. At least for a temporary setup
