Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting.

No power, power LED doesnt shine.

Check diodes D3, D4, D7, D11 D13 N-channel MOSFETs Q8 PWM controller U8 OK

NOT OK

Change faulty components

Check resistance of L1, L2, R65, R82, R83 Is it less than 1 Ohm?

NOT OK

Change faulty components

OK

Check CPU temperature, if it is more than 80C (you cant hold your finger on it) CPU is dead

If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable

These repair instructions are for NON WARRANTY repairs only! Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting. Also try to reset BIOS with S1 button and re-install Router OS with Netinstall.

Doesnt boot, power LED is ON.

Check CPU core voltage 1.8V on C58 pins

NOT OK

NOT OK

Check PNP transistor Q4

Change Q4

OK

OK

Check resistance of FB3 Is it less than 1 Ohm?

NOT OK

Change FB3 Check CPU temperature, if it is more than 80C (you cant hold your finger on it) CPU is dead

OK

Check CPU clock 25 MHz NOT OK on Y1

Change quartz crystal Y1

If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable

These repair instructions are for NON WARRANTY repairs only! Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting.

Ethernet doesnt work, drops ping packets.

Check Ethernet cable, Ethernet connector

NOT OK

Change faulty cable or connector

OK Check resistance of R52,R89 It should be 75Ohm +/1% OK

NOT OK

CPU is dead

Check CPU clock 25 MHz on Y1

NOT OK

Change quartz crystal Y1

If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable

These repair instructions are for NON WARRANTY repairs only! Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting.

RB153 locks up, stop responding with wireless cards.

Check RB153 bottom side. Is there little wire soldered under CPU?

NOT OK

Very carefully remove varnish from vias and solder a wire like on picture below.

If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable
