My suspicion on that much overvoltage plugged into for more than a second or two, will yield a lot more damage than the VR. Depending on hardware release, it could also cause a direct board short, take out traces near the RJ45, power diodes, etc. etc.
I guess if you want to try something on a dead board, you have nothing to lose, right?

You can take a box cutter and remove the old one by cutting the pins/legs real close to the body of the part. Then use an iron to mop up and remove the leg remenants. Removing the donor from the SM is a but more touchy. You will need solder wick. Absorb the solder from each leg and try to gently get them to release one by one. Sometimes you can pry them up under heat with a long pin or needle. Once the doner is off and the legs are pretty much straight and looking more or less like they looked when soldered down, all you have to do is place it on the board and hit each leg with an iron, supplying a bit of pressure as the solder on the leg and the solder left on the pad flow. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Vander Dussen Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:16 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Need FSK APs, will travel 5.7ghz -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 8:11 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Need FSK APs, will travel What frequency? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Vander Dussen Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:07 AM To: 'AF Cambium List (af@afmug.com)' Subject: [AFMUG] Need FSK APs, will travel I'm in the market for 3-6 FSK APs today somewhere in central California.
