One day I find the router dead. No lights or anything. One of the LEDS do blink but it's so quick it's hard to see. Checked the power supply and it puts out 12v, which is what the router needs. So naturally I check the caps by removing them and testing them. The only capacitors that seems a little off was a 330 that reads as a 303. That's border 10%, but I'm not sure if that's the cause of my problem at all? BTW, Lelon caps.
Tested all the caps to see their voltage and the two red circles in the image get 12v. The rest get nearly nothing. Like .5v or maybe 1.5v. Some get no power. So I'm assuming that the yellow things I circled are bad. I think they're voltage regulators or power regulators of some kind? Can anyone help confirm for me? I want to be able to test them but I have no idea what to look for.
