    Recap of my Netgear 5 port Gigabit switch... SUCESS!!!

    Just wanted to say thanks to all the forum members and mods. Spent some time reading, and finally dug my old Netgear 5 port switch out of a drawer it had been sitting in for a few years, and ordered some replacement caps for it. Needless to say, I am using the switch again! Thanks for all the info, and thanks for making this repair that much easier for me.



    Now, what is my next recap project!!!! LOL

      Glad to hear you got it working.
      Not so glad to hear it was a Netgear. They've been my go-to brand since Linksys and Dlink turned to crap. What brand of crapacitors did it have in it?

      Hmm now that I think of it, I shoulda kept the box of dead Linksys crud I recycled last year, and looked to see if it was just bad caps.
      36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

          Ive heard about these bad Netgears. Supposedly a manufacturing change was implemented to fix the issue.

              They had Taipo's and Ltec's... Replaced the Ltecs' because they were the ones bad, but plan on replacing the Taipo's next.

                  Taipo? Don't you mean Teapo? I've seen teapo in a lot of netgear stuff.
                  I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                      yeah, make the other crap go bye-bye too.

                      i remember opening up a siemens speedstream wireless-b router... it worked fine, but all of the caps were bulged or had the bungs shoved down... even the tiny caps... i stole the pc card out of it (thats how they made it use wifi) and thew it in my junk bin.

                          Resurrection of old thread:

                          What are the cap sizes, ratings for this switch?
                          I'm thinking of buying a few and doing a preemptive recap.
                          The Netgear warranty is worthless, so no worries on voiding it.

                              The switch has served me for 10+ years (was new when I bought it). It's a nice switch with connections on the back which makes for quite a clean desk. Reason for taking it apart was that the cooling fan was noisy so I expected it to be dirty/dusty inside and the need to order a new fan. What I found was that it was very dirty/dusty and some electrolytic capacitors which needs attention. There are 3 capacitors which needs to be replaced but the ESR on some of the other ones might be bad as well so I think I'll replace them all. Original...

                              Netgear JGS516PE Switch Fan Replacement
                              by shovenose
                              I got a free Netgear JGS516PE PoE switch and it works fine but the fan makes a grinding sound.

                              It uses a 12V 3 pin fan with a non standard pin out. So I took a Noctua fan and moved the wires around in the connector to make it work.

                              Unfortunately, the fan spins for just a couple seconds before it turns off and the Fan Fault LED comes on.

                              I think it's stupid they designed it to stop powering the fan when it detects a fault but I guess that's what they chose to do.

                              Instead of spending $30 on the correct replacement fan, does anyone have a clean...

                              Micro Momentary Push Switch?
                              by Natob82
                              Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...

                              NEC TurboExpress On/Off Power Switch Replacement Help
                              by grimacelord
                              Hello,

                              I've been working on a NEC TurboExpress and I accidentally got the plastic inside the power ON/OFF switch too hot while doing other repairs and melted it. At first, it would still power on when sliding the switch, but you had to really press inward while sliding to get it to work.

                              I removed the switch component and tried to gently melt the plastic back so it would work more reliably and all I managed to do was make it worse.

                              I need to find a replacement On/OFF switch for this, but having some trouble figuring out which kind of switch I need....
