I am the IT Specialists for the company I work for. Over this past weekend, we had crazy storms that knocked power out for days to us. All of my networking equipment is powered through either a high end APC UPS, or a smaller APC UPS Surge protector, and then finally a couple are powered through a panamax surge protector. Now, I realize that I can get these devices replaced from from APC and Panamax; however, I am curious if there is anything that I can do to get these back online while I am waiting.
I have 5 devices, which all happen to be my smallest networking devices, which will no longer turn back on. Two of them are the exact same device but were housed in two different locations on two completely different circuits in two separate office buildings. They are this device: TrendNet TPE-S44 Power over Ethernet Switch. Additionally, I have two Engenius Wireless Bridges that I have never had problems with until now, and a little Cisco wired router.
I took the board out of the Cisco router and tested the capacitors and out of the 3, 2 have something like 2 ohms and the other is infinite. The one closest to the battery is the one that is infinite, does that indeed mean it is "fried"?
I know enough about electronic components to be dangerous, but nothing that would allow me to diagnose any further. Does anyone have any advice for me at all? Thanks!
Mike
