Hi All,
I seem to have had a run of bad luck...
My DM800 is connected up in my bedroom, I use TP Link Powerline adapters to provide a network connection. This has worked very well for me for the past 18 months or so...up until recently anyway!
Just recently the Powerline plug in the bedroom decided to blow. No problem I thought to myself, just order another adapter. I did just that, only to find that the Ethernet port on my DM800 now seems to be dead as well! :-(
After doing some research I seem to be having exactly the same symptoms as described in this link!
So putting it to the very knowledgeable folk on this forum, what should I do...?
- Is it easy to replace the component on the board, and if so where would I get the necessary parts?
- Should I just cut my losses and sell it on for parts and order a new box?
I work in IT and would be quite happy to give the component replacement a go. I have never used a soldering iron before though, and have not got a clue where to get the parts needed. I'm sure one of my colleagues at work would be more than happy to assist me though! :-)
Any advice would be much appreciated, especially if it saves me some money! ;-)
Cheers,
Spodge
