| 662851 | 2008-04-26 08:47:00 | Hi I Found 2 wireless routers in the inorganic rubbish collection, lol, 1 is a dlink dl-614+ and the other is a linksys wag54g. THEY WERE BOTH WET WHEN I FOUND THEM. the linksys wag54g diddnt turn on so o opened up and found inside that it is using a wireless PCMIA Cardbus(lol) and so i took it out and put it in my laptop, that was all fine and dandy:cool: But the dlink dl-614+ turns on for about 10 secs with ALL lights on then turns off again. i am using the power supply from a working dlink home router. I am not sure if there is a way to fix the dlink dl-614+.all conections look fine. If anybody has any ideas that would be great Thanks |

Make sure the power supply outputs the correct number of volts and amps for the router, not all units use the same. |

| 662856 | 2008-04-26 22:33:00 | in the top right by a cluster of capacitors i can smell burning and there is also a resistor and a few other things around the area. If i reset it it doesnt change at all and i looked on the internet and nothing. Thanks |

| 662857 | 2008-04-26 23:01:00 | Chances are, they are dead, mainly cause you said they were wet... Water and electronics do not mix well... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 662858 | 2008-04-26 23:05:00 | i suppose so, anyway the people must have thrown them out for a reason and then they got wet anyway. Thanks Everyone Anyway |
