WAP54g - need a new supply - help

slewis1972 · 13-04-2005, 11:25

Ok - NTL broadband, have a Linksys WAP54g - and the power supply has died - reason why I know that as daughter dropped something on it and now it dont work.

So - need a new powersupply. I understand the power supply is a 5volt 2.5Amp - any chance you can pikc these up from say Maplins or Argos?

Your best bet is to get a multi-voltage adaptor, thing is i dont think most do 5v but 4.5 and 6 either side of it, you could try 4.5 i guess, but if that isnt enough power to kick it into life, you COULD try 6 *DISCLAIMER - If you blow it up with 6 it isnt my fault!!!* OR you could add a resistor into the equation if youre brave enough!

Try phoning Linksys (sorry, not Belkin at all) to see how much a replacement is.

Or Linksys...

https://ssl.linksys.com/rma1.asp

Is the US link - has a power supply option on it.

Chances are that something has been knocked loose inside.

Can it be opened & repaired perhaps? (what I'd do but I know how).

I'll have a gander for a replacement.

ere you go althought the plug may not be correct.

or from here model PJ85G
or here model N92AT however these are ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20+ so maybe not the best options.

Maybe try

Phone Linksys - ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20 inc delivery - which is 50% of the cost of a new one

May have to look at these

Can you try to claim on the 3 year warrantee that Linksys operate? You can't be sure that the impact caused or exacerbated the problem..

slewis1972 · 13-04-2005, 14:08

Err can confirm the damage is my fault do as its got a big gash in the casing

.....looks over top of glasses, raises an eyebrow and says "I see......"

Hmm, start a small fire inside the casing, sue Linksys for damage to room set on fire due to PSU exploding into ball of flames.

Get new PSU at same time.

There, simple.

Deduct cost of replacement item, including unavoidable upgrade to current model, from daughter's pocket money. That'll teach her.
