    Magic Smoke Warning

    in WiFi Pineapple Mark IV

    Posted

    Hmmm, i know that cisco power injectors are rated 24 volts, what was the voltage on the power adapter for the cisco injector ?

    <facepalm> I'm so embarrassed.

    Just checked the voltage on the PoE Adaptor. It's 48v.

    I should have checked first but this dopey bugger assumed everything was 12v.

    Now my stupidity has left me without my Pineapple. 8(

    I'm absolutely not blaming anyone else, but I wish there were some kind of over-voltage protection.

    Guess I need to start saving for the replacement.

    Cheers, Jason

    Magic Smoke Warning

    Very disappointed to report my brand new Mk IV just released its magic smoke and is dead.

    I used a PoE Adaptor (working fine on my Cisco 7940) into the PoE port and within seconds there was a "crack" and a puff of smoke. It had previpusly been working perfectly via the power connector.

    I opened the box hoping it was a simple diode or cap - but unfortunately it destroyed a small IC.

    So it's now in the bin. 8-(

    Super-disappointed as I didn't do anything cowboyish.

    Please be very careful if you're looking to use PoE. If you're like me, you can't afford to just go and buy another one. 8(

    Cheers, Jason
