All lights off on Netgear JFS524 Model 23 24 Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch.

All lights off on Netgear JFS524 Model 23 24 Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch.

I have a Netgear JFS524 Model 23 24 Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch. It had been in storage for a while.

Today when I tried to use it, it did not work.

 

I connected the AC power cable, Ethernet cables to router and laptop.

Initially all lights (every light, power and all lights for all ports) were on but I could not connect to internet.

Now all lights are off when power is applied.

There is a slight burning smell.

Replacing the switch solves the problem.

 

I contacted Netgear Customer Support but since I can not provide the invoice for the switch, they would not help me.

 

I suspect the internal power supply has failed.

Can anyone help me? I seek troubleshooting guidance, parts list, and schematic.

@appletreasures,

 

In the absence of the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of your NETGEAR device, you may provide the following below as alternative:

 

a. An e-mail from the reseller for confirmation of sale. 
b. Credit card statement showing the purchase of the device.

 

 

Regards,

Netgear does not publish anything like these. 

 

Time for the electronics recycling trash bin.
