Strangest request ever....

Feb 26, 2005 5:02AM PST

I seriously doubt I'll hear anything back from anyone on this, but I'm curious, and I'd like to think I didn't waste my five bucks on ebay. Wink

I just recently acquired a Netgear RP614 (v1) router that I'm trying to set up. From all looks, it's broken. No power light, nothing.

So me, having a free saturday afternoon and several hours before work, decide to open the baby up and see if there's anything physically wrong. Especially since I hear this rattling inside of it.

So I open it up. Boom, a part is loose and missing, a little bundle of copper wire from the looks of it, that' srolling around. I see exactly where it needs to go, but unfortunately, the two ends...supposed to be soldered on and all, are also loose, I have NO idea where they go.

I need opinions, advice, and most importantly, if a kind soul out there with a Netgear RP614 router could open it up and take a detailed picture for me so I know what might need to be done, I'd be REALLY REALLY appreciative.
