By writing this e-mail, I am hoping to help those of you who have Cisco 700 series routers that has gone bad. Within one year, two of my routers (a 762 and a 766) went bad. When you turn on the power, all LED's are on, except for the NT1, and sometimes all the LED's are just flashing like crazy. According to the trouble shooting guide, this means that the processor is inactive, but in both cases, this was actually caused by the power supply which had gone into orbit mode. When testing the routers on another power supply, they both turned out okay. So, halt a second before you throw your routers out, because it might very well be the power supply. The bad news here are that these power supplies are very speciel, and you cannot buy them at any electronic outlet stores (as far as I know), and the company that manufactor them, are not allowed to sell them to anyone else but Cisco. If you want to turn your old power supply in for a refurbished one, it will cost you $150.- However, you might very well be lucky to find a router with a power supply on ebay or another auction site for less than $150.- Hope this helps someone out.
