Power issue 2800G was created by onside
Hello,
I have a problem with the above router - we've had power supply cuts recently, now the router will not start. The dsl and printer lights flash briefly and then nothing. The power supply unit is providing a steady voltage, so no problem there. This has happened in the past and eventually it started up with repeated attempts but this time it refuses to power up. Any ideas ? Or trash it ?
Cheers,
Jim

Hello,
Managed to solve it myself !

The PSU was in fact faulty - whilst it tested as showing a good steady voltage, I wasn't convinced that it was good. It must have a fault somewhere - replaced the PSU with a 12v one I found in the workshop and the router powers up perfectly.

Thanks anyway
Cheers,
Jim :oops:
