    Linksys 10/100 Switch



    This linksys EZXS55W 10/100 5port switch has a single bad cap. I know its hard to see because my camera is really blurry and old, but maybe the shading gives it away. There is a slight drop of leakage in the center top of the cap that my camera will never be able to focus on.

    The switch started having issues with my DSL router - it would keep trying to switch automatically from crossed to straight, and the DSL router would compensate by switching as well. I bought some netgear 8port switch to replace it, and it works fine now.

      Bad news! Netgear equipment is affected as well!
      I have a DG824M built in 2003 and it has a bad Tolon cap!
      From the Netgear forums it seems many people have issues with older routers dropping the ADSL connection and other intermittent problems which only started happening after a year or two!
      cheers

          Yes, I have a large collection of Linksys in the NG bin.
          I never would have thought to look for a bad cap here.
          Since you've described the same symptoms these are known to display, that sounds just like a bad cap. They even seem to heal breifly then fail again.

              I'm guessing that the lower portion of the PCB is a power section. It has quite a few lytic caps, what looks like an 8-pin DIP IC (384X family?), and what may be two inductors. If it is an AC-DC or DC-DC power section, the caps will need to be low-Z, good brand name parts. You would think Linksys (Cisco) would know that. Or maybe they got bit by the Nichicon HM/HN process problem?

                  I have had problems with this switch only running at 10mbps even though all the connections were 100mpbs.

                      Well, noting new that Linksys has bad caps all in their gear. And no, no Nichicon to blame for, its all about not high grade caps. But ok, if that helps Linksys to produce a decent firmware, i have no problem with that. Cap s are easy to fix, firmware not.

                          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....
