The only way to be sure it is capacitor plague is to gut the unit and look at the PC board. If you look at the capacitors in it, and one or two are slightly bulged, or have black stuff that looks to be leaking from the bottoms, the device is dead, and should be replaced, unless you are the hacky type and change out the cap's or harvest the good parts off the corpse of the old switch.I have this Netgear Switch GS108 that has apparently failed. Before I buy a new one I'd like to know whether this is known issue with this type of unit or Netgear hardware in general. This unit I have is an 8-port switch. I perused some reading here and there and they point out to faulty capacitors in the unit. The fault causes what they call "Blinking lights of death", that is, all lights blink on and off repeatedly. Unplugging the unit and plugging it back in unit does nothing. Any network hardware experts know about this? TIA, ~af
