Just to add It dies - replace power supply AND fans. I also have plenty of experience with these switches and have only have ever had one port/ freeze failure in over 2 years amongst 200 + SSxx00's. Maybe I'm lucky. Corebuilder 3500's on the other hand, well thats a diferent story and I find 3Coms tech support a bit poor. IMHO. I wouldn't like libel action. You could try 3com's Knowledge base on their website.
