Hello all!
In addition to my WL-500g which works flawlessly since I bought it in August 2004, I have recently added a WL-500g Deluxe (V) to my collection - mainly for experimentation and out of curiosity.
As well as my WL-500g its power is (usually) switched off during the night. Now I have the following problem: When power is reapplied in the morning, the Deluxe fails to power up - the leds which show lan-connectivity light up correctly, but the PWR-Led stays dark. The router isn't accessible via the network and no bootloader messages appear on the serial port.
It starts to work correctly if I disconnect and reconnect power again. Returning this unit for warranty repair is not an option, as the seal is already broken.
What I have tried so far: Adding an additional 100µF capacitor parallel to C180 for better input voltage filtering and an 1µF capacitor parallel to C118 (for stablilising 3,3V) didn't really improve the condition...
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
