"No Interest" Park Bench

The man pictured above is Mr Dieter Moerlein, and he's the Mayor of Eppelheim, Germany. What makes him so interesting, besides serving as Mayor for 17 years, is his radical approach to unruly teens. In his town of Eppelheim, teenagers don't use park benches as they were designed, instead they would sit perched, like a row of sparrows. After fielding complaints from citizens that park benches were constantly being soiled by shoes, due to teenager sitting habits, Dieter Moerlein decided to do something about it. His solution was to design and build special park benches in areas where teenagers normally congregated, which had a seating rail installed for teenagers to sit on. These new park benches were named the "No-Interest" park bench, because teenagers showed no interest in following etiquette. As a result teenagers flocked to the new park benches and left the normal benches alone for regular sitting citizens.

Seeing as I had no need for this switch, at the time, it just sat in my office collecting dust. Once I started my structured media home wiring project I realized the 16 port Netgear could be quite useful, but after a few unsuccessful attempts at utilizing it I realized it was DOA. Here's the situation, when this switch is plugged in, an LED will signify the unit is on and working, however whenever an Ethernet cable is inserted into any of the available jacks, there is no LED activity or connectivity. I took to the world wide web and came across a few similar situations all of which indicated that my unit probably had a bad capacitor. To verify if this was indeed the culprit behind my non functioning switch I woul
