Check the largest ones for a "rounded" top, and wire in parallel extra capacitors with any value, but at least same or larger voltage rating. With too few working capacitors, the equipment often still works but regularly misbehaves.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621207177332262174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-39792953120690607382016-07-06T14:18:26.407-05:002016-07-06T14:18:26.407-05:00If the outside of the plastic is warmer than any u...If the outside of the plastic is warmer than any un-powered objects in the room, the case is trapping heat. Remove the plastic casing and hang the circuit board vertical. If there is a heat-sink with fins, make sure the fins are in the vertical direction too. Adding a small fan should be a last resort.<br />If only the LAN ports break, I suspect static discharges rather than heat. Either form long connected cables with nearby thunderstorms or touching computer equipment in very dry air.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621207177332262174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-48589569316238776222016-07-06T09:14:22.163-05:002016-07-06T09:14:22.163-05:00First I got on web tv with Bill Gates.

In fact, I would imagine younger folks have never used or perhaps heard of them. Generally used back in the day as a "step up" from 56k analog telephone line modems (remember the AOL disks they would send in the mail relentlessly and a few free internet services using analog modems?). rjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025728540081089210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-7964842947364474242016-07-05T22:20:57.169-05:002016-07-05T22:20:57.169-05:00Heat and electronics don't seem to get on well...Heat and electronics don't seem to get on well together...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-1491261461971152412016-07-05T18:11:59.852-05:002016-07-05T18:11:59.852-05:00It was a heat issue with my lawnmower battery.
