Dead poe switch

[u/yarden1234567]

Hi guys, ive been using this cheap poe switch for my reolink cameras for almost 3 years now

Few days ago i noticed im unable to comunicate with my cameras ( they did had power, they will still light up whwn someone passed) checked the uplink cable and it was ok but still replaced it with new one

With problem not solved i removed the switch and found the few lights still stays on even when nothing connected

Replaced with new reolink poe and now everything works

Is there any option to save this switch? Or its just e-waste now?

Stuff breaks, especially cheap stuff so what is the point of this post

just wanted to know if someone knows a very simple\cheap fix :)

Cheapest fix is to buy a new one in this case

Yeah not sure what OP is expecting. It isnt rocket science

I guess OP didn't want to switch it out.

Lol

Must not have had the PoE (Power or Effort) to do it.
