.that was my goal tonight, and I slew. Well, I got it done.
Comedy value, today at work I was joking with someone about having one of those metal brick Netgear hubs lying around, and how I should resurrect it, but I had let the magic smoke out. I now question that. I was going to use this power supply for the extractor, wanted to make sure it was asked up right, plugged it in and touched the wires to the fan the way I thought they’d be. Nothing. Switched which wires were where. Nothing. Slashed the wires together. Nothing.
Stupid power supply.
Found another power supply that I’d already cut the tail of of, it’s the same voltage, and this one was actually labeled Netgear. Did I really only fry the wrong power supply?
So tomorrow I might take a look inside and see what I have.
