I moved internationally with about 50 different power adapters... I couldn't figure out which one goes to my TRENDNET S80g 8port network switch after the mess so I plugged one in which I thought was the matching one (these things, I now learn, almost never carry the product manufacturer's matching name startlingly).
The power light blinked rapidly and didn't stabilize, so I unplugged it. It wants a 5v @ 1A input.
So I found one of those (again it does NOT look like the one in the picture of the item I bought off NewEgg... but 1. NewEgg sells a different version now and 2. I've been told, as mentioned above, that sometimes these adapters are just mixed/matched/substituted, so I don't know).
HOWEVER with this new plug (or a few others i've tried), the switch will not power on.
**I'm wondering if it could be dead from having used a power supply with too much amperage? Can this happen?
***I may simply have lost the power cord to this unit, but now I'm wondering if I just need to buy a new unit altogether...
Thanks in advance...
