Default SMC router takes several mins to warm up??

Geez, finally found time to change those caps.. Worked perfectly for 15
minutes right after I turned it on.. Then the same problem came out

Some component(s) in it have become thermo sensitive. It may be some

of
the
capacitors that have become defective. If it is caps that are bad,

these
can
be checked with an ESR meter. If this is a low cost router, I would

suggest
to get a new one, rather than spending time and money on fixing it.

I've fixed a few similar units, the problem in every case was a couple

bad
capacitors on the output of the power supply, this is a nice simple

beginner
repair.


There are only 5 electrolytic caps in there. I'll definitely check them

out.
Thank you!
