Heat problems!!! WTF?

[kane2g]

I went out of town fo the past 36hr or so. Come back to find all my systems shut down! no biggie, but the worst part is that my whole network is down!!!
It turns out that someone decided to turn off the circuit braker in the house. But the problem is that the AC adaptor for my 16port hub is dead!! it friggin melted! I didnt know those suckers were that hot! So now the whole network is down as I am forced to look for a replacement. :grr:
Not something I wanted to do! But oh-well.
Im looking at netgear 8port, but hope to find it cheap!

:flames: I suspect lightning was the culprit. It caused the breaker to flip, but not before frying the adapter. :flames:

[kane2g]

how about the power thing

NE way the sucka needs 6A at 5V, but its got 3 pins!
1 is FG <=== WTF is this???
2 is 5v
3 ground/common


Do you think I can just hookup the 5v and common and sucka will work??? I dont want to fry it if I dont have to!

[Wiggo]

Sorry but I don't have a clue unless it means "False Ground". :shrug:

[kane2g]

FG stands for Frame Ground which is used mainly in insulated transformers.
