Dog chewed power cord. Repaired, but device is dead
New puppy in the house, and he got to the power cord to the router and chewed through the cord.
I got out the wire tools, soldering iron, heat shrink etc... Did a simple repair.
Tested the cord out with a multi-meter and it is showing 12 Voits at the connection.
However, when I plug it back in, nothing.
No lights, nothing.
Pushed the power button - nothing.
Hit the WPS/Wifi button - nothing
Hit the Reset button - nothing.
Shut down the computer, disconnected the Cable Modem. Did a full restart like it was a brand new router - nothing.
Are these so temperamental that a sudden power change brick them??? It is only like 4 months old.
I would put down the actual Version number and Firmware version - but its dead. Sorry.
