SMC router takes several mins to warm up??
Hi all,
I got this SMC Barricade router SMC7004BR. One day it got turned off. Now when I turn it on, it will take several minutes to power up (warm up?), then will start working perfectly. If I turn it off and then back on, when the router is 'warm', it turns on right away. Takes another several minutes to 'cool down', then will need to wait for it to 'warm up' again. Please help! Thanks. viperz (at) mail (dot) com |

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. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Eugen T" wrote in message .. .

There are only 5 electrolytic caps in there. I'll definitely check them out. Thank you! |
