I was wondering whatever happened to this thread. :) If it is a case of poor quality capacitors the repair should last for years. The caps are about the only parts that aren't SMT in the switches I've looked at, so are simple to replace if you have any soldering skills at all. Email me offlist if you'd like to discuss options for getting some of the caps and/or trying to fix it. I still have quite a few of the caps. Here's a thought -- have a FixMyNetgearCaps event with the DorkbotPDX folks at one of their meetings downtown, which were on Mondays last time I checked.
