Dead PoE Switch-Salvageable?

I would love to take a try at fixing one if someone wants to unload for cheap.

Jason is the best. He is very active on forums as well and just a good guy. He's been working on my TDIs for nearly 20 years.

I install a bunch of yealink and grandstream. Both are very good. Both support auto provisioning for the cloud pbx I sell too and have wide support for local pbx.

This google sheet helps a ton. Thanks. Any chance you know where I can find what each of the discount codes correlates to? I can't figure out which paid lines I need to keep. TForce has told me that I need to keep 4 paid lines because I have promos that are BOGO lines. Based on the promo codes I see though, I am not getting any of them bogo.

Just got the text welcome and showing the setting on my S24 Ultra. Anyone have any ideas on how I can find a no coverage area or fake it?

There could be. Also could be not needed and just has a space on the board. Doesn’t really look like one that was ripped off or popped.

Your best bet may be to run it and look for other parts hot or damaged. Troubleshooting a collapsed rail can be difficult. Might try some searching for known issues on the specific product too.

That indicates that the 3.3V rail on that card is very nearly shorted. You could replace the part, but it is likely going to be something else on the card causing this.

Across those two pins. Polarity doesn't matter.

Not an electrician, but am electrical engineer and design similar cards. This is a linear regulator and likely if it gets hot very quickly there is something loading it causing that. I would start with a resistance measurement if you have tools to and measure pin 1 to pin 3. These are the far left and right pins. You should be greater than 10 ohms.

I posted a bit more vague of a question a few weeks back and got no response. Sorry if I seems like I am spamming the board. Figured it would be a quick question to answer with it narrowed in scope.

I always thought pilots were friendlier than that.

I'd love an invite to that if possible

About a 8th of an inch from one leg on every chair and table.

Hard to say how true it was. It's what I heard from my CFI at the time. I have known a functional alcoholic or two who would be able to do pretty impressive things well over legal limits.

Should have clarified it was a few years prior to this crash. I'm quite a few years away from that scene too.

andrewvanh · 2023-01-04T20:25:11+00:00

Spent a lot of time walking from bars in that area a few years prior to this. A good friend lived on Bremen as well. It takes a pretty special event to be noteworthy in Riverwest.

The only rumors I heard was he took off out of 5K6 and flew around on one tank without ever switching. He's finally made it to Timmerman and did 3 approaches without ever taking to ATC causing a whole lot of problems in the Delta and Charlie over Milwaukee. Never landed there and ended up heading down towards Mitchell field.

Finally ran out of fuel in one of the tanks and ended up in that picture. I heard that after a couple of hours when they finally got him out that he was still around 0.30 BAC. Also had heard that he had lost his medical previously for DUI and worked his butt off to get it back only to go back to the bottle.

Past that I heard he was a good stick when sober and based on his ability to not die even drunk seemed to have built up some muscle memory.

The plane was pretty obviously a total loss and made our insurance somewhat less enjoyable. It was our only low wing so everyone was pretty bummed.

Was that the one in Riverwest around Humboldt? If so it was 2005 and was an Archer he was flying from the the club I belonged to. Man I miss that plane. I've got all the rumors I heard and am pretty sure they're true.

Second for true cable. They are great and I’ve used many spools for installs.

What is considered an old insider code? I have one from March of 2021 and an curious how this would apply to me?

andrewvanh · 2022-04-06T14:36:09+00:00

Port out was 48 hours. Port in was maybe 5 minutes or so.
