Hey guys, I have this Modem/Router here and it apparently went on the fritz after a power outage we had due to a storm, recently. When I plugged it in, the lights on the face of the moden would all blink on and off VERY fast and it made a loud clicky sound every time. Nothing on the unit itself looked bad so I decided to open up the wall-wart that comes with it and it's full of bad lytics. It has three culprits: 1 x 470uF 10V, 1 x 1000uF 10V, both of which are bad, and then a big 33uF 200V which still looks good, but it's the same brand; Rifeking.
So I figure I'll just replace the two bad ones with Panasonic FM's or FC's... and something else for the big 200V jobber. You think this will cure it? I don't have a multi-meter so I can't test stuff. But nothing looks burned or as if it got hot. Nothing gets unusually hot when I power it up, it just doesn't work correctly. The wall-wart is 5.1V @ 2A output capability. Does it really need to have those 10V caps?
