I looked around this forum but did not find a location for this question so:
I just replaced my DSL modem for the 3rd time in 2 years, simply dies after about eight months. Not during or after a storm, they just die. I think they just over heat, always very warm to hot to the touch.
I found a 38Volt DC Centaur cooling fan with a 12 V 300ma fan on it now and its always slightly warm to the touch. If I connect a 24Volt Transformer to the 38V cooling fan the speed increases but at the 12V RPMs the DSL modem seems to be OK.
The fan has been running for three weeks, the fan is cool and so is the DSL modem.
I do know cheap parts are used in different modems, but I think heat is the biggest problem.
Any ideas on making the DSL modem last longer?
