power supply issue
i have a GS108V3 and the external power supply stopped working. I purchased another external power supply it worked for 2 days and the power supply blew again. Would this indicate the actual switch has a internal problem?

Welcome to the Community!
Does it have the same specification as with the original Power Supply? I would say the switch has the problem if it stopped working as there maybe components that causing it. Have you inserted other Power supply on your outlet? Did you experience any power interruption at the time it broke?
If you are the original owner and you have purchased the switch after june 2016 I would recommend contacting support so they can properly assist you with your Switch and PSU

yes the replacement power supply was identical to original. Other things are plugged into the surge protector with no issues. It still powers up with a good power supply its just after 2 days it (blows) ruins the new power supply. Why i am guessing something internal in the switch may have went bad? I have had the switch for a long time. I currently just replaced it with a 5 port switch and switched a couple of the rokus over to wireless. I ordered a new 8 port netgear switch since this one lasted so long. No interruption with power it just stopped working while i was watching tv.
The new switch Should be here in a couple days. Thanks for the reply.
