No power, power LED doesnt shine.
Check diodes D3, D4, D7, D11 D13 N-channel MOSFETs Q8 PWM controller U8 OK
NOT OK
Change faulty components
Check resistance of L1, L2, R65, R82, R83 Is it less than 1 Ohm?
NOT OK
Change faulty components
OK
Check CPU temperature, if it is more than 80C (you cant hold your finger on it) CPU is dead
If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable
These repair instructions are for NON WARRANTY repairs only! Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting. Also try to reset BIOS with S1 button and re-install Router OS with Netinstall.
Doesnt boot, power LED is ON.
Check CPU core voltage 1.8V on C58 pins
NOT OK
NOT OK
Check PNP transistor Q4
Change Q4
OK
OK
Check resistance of FB3 Is it less than 1 Ohm?
NOT OK
Change FB3 Check CPU temperature, if it is more than 80C (you cant hold your finger on it) CPU is dead
OK
Check CPU clock 25 MHz NOT OK on Y1
Change quartz crystal Y1
If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable

Ethernet doesnt work, drops ping packets.
Check Ethernet cable, Ethernet connector
NOT OK
Change faulty cable or connector
OK Check resistance of R52,R89 It should be 75Ohm +/1% OK
NOT OK
CPU is dead
Check CPU clock 25 MHz on Y1
NOT OK
Change quartz crystal Y1
If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable
These repair instructions are for NON WARRANTY repairs only! Please make visual inspection for signs of corrosion or mechanical damages before starting.
RB153 locks up, stop responding with wireless cards.
Check RB153 bottom side. Is there little wire soldered under CPU?
NOT OK
Very carefully remove varnish from vias and solder a wire like on picture below.
If the problem still appears the board is unrepairable
