Here I have a used D-Link 24 port POE switch that I bought to run my phones and cameras. When I received it I found two issues with it.
1. The display mode button on the front panel must have been hit by something because it didn't click anymore
2. The fans were way to loud.
In this video I fix both issues. The issue that I thought was going to be easier turned out to be rather difficult. Replacing fans in this was not straight forward.

Cheap but works - on ebay - 862D+
If you're in the market for this cheap one
just search ebay for 862D+ and get the cheaper one
about 50$, it doesn't have to have the +
It works, it's not great, but ok. - Ігри
Glad to see you again Paul! Hoping to see more content on your channel
Hi Paul! Good luck with your new business! Nothing beats being your own boss
Much more relatable than the mac repair videos for me. I was more than half expecting you to find out that the old fan wire colour coding didn't match the new fan wire colour coding.
It would have been fitting if I found out the industrial fan was something stupid like yellow is positive red is ground and black is tachometer... Glad it wasn't that messed up.
@@A2000MHz Yes, with so much of the stuff that is coming out of China these days, the color of the wire often means absolutely nothing. People should always verify the pin-out of the wires, and not just assume the color is correct. While with some things getting the wires backwards won't hurt anything, other things could be damaged by assuming the color of the wire means something.
This post will be shadow banned by Communist Google. Communist Google is now even shadow banning people *posting on their own channel*.
Great to see you back with us Paul. Seems like a million years ago we were just some randoms on Rossmann live-chat.
The proper solution for reducing your fan noise was to just disconnect them and ensure you keep the office/home airconditioner down to about 0'C - perfect :D
Looking forward to seeing more from your channel.
But if i just disconnect the fans then I would have to build up a 555 timer to provide the tachometer signal to keep the fan fault light off. Might be a fun project...
Happy New Year Paul , and hoping that your business goes well which I am sure it will
Glad to see you back and best wishes for your new business.
Paul S is #1
I'm so glad you are uploading more!
Great video dude. The way you explained things, the editing, the presentation.
Can't wait to see more. 🤜🤛
Nice to see you back Paul. Good luck on your new endeavour. You're going to do great
Thank you! As long as the customers can find me this is gonna be great!
Hi Paul,
As Pedro said, happy new year, best wishes to you, your family and your business.
Looking forward for more content.
Hi Paul, it is a pleasure to see that you are still making videos and on this occasion, you got FAN-SPIN but for rather better reasons. Nice to watch other content than MacBooks :D Cheers.
Quiet fan spin! The best type of fan spin!
Keep em coming! Glad to see ya around, putting "just a Paul of flux" on things again!
Wonderful to see you posting stuff again . Best of luck in your new ventures. 🙂
Thanks for the video Paul. Been a while. Will be here watching what you put out.
Thanks Travis! I'm glad to see you guys here!
great start paul wish you all the best for the future
Beautiful! Thanks Paul!
Great video Paul, look forward to future videos.
I was hearing some fan noise and that yes I can hear some fans. And then when you plugged it in I was like "Oh..." lol
Happy New Year Paul.
Good to see you back, always good content! I miss those late night streams of rocket league haha.
Oh boy those fans sounded worse than a pair of high RPM Delta fans.
hihi and I have changed to turbo golf racing, I'm getting pretty good at it to, top 200 world rankings. We keep saying we should stream again. I might start streaming on my twitch channel again with it.
Great to see you! I actually unsubscribed Rossmann as I always liked it for its technical content and that is no more. Very glad to see this, I love electronics, fixing and exploring how things work and see people with great skills sharing their knowledge.
Great video, I have of of these as my home switch and man it is loud. Great product, but it dwalfs my fridge in volume.
Best part is i searched for the fans Paul has used, and they are in stock at my local computer shop. Ill be playing along from home rewatching this repair next weekend! Thanks for this video Paul, it is fantastic.
I am a big fan of recycling and keeping electronic equipment running, and channels like this allow novice repair folks like me to give it a go.
Best wishes in your new endeavor!
Thank you!
I love that little "solder pen holder" attachment you have for the Flux syringe. I scoured Hakko site and other avenues for buying crap and found nuthn... figures.
That was 3d printed by a fan of my previous job. It works really well. I should get into printing and make some more. I really want one that holds the 30cc and a 10cc. The one I have now is for 2 30cc
@@A2000MHz it's a fantastic idea and I wanted one immediately lol. Thanks for letting me know! If you ever make some, I'll order a couple lol.
Happy new year Paul.
All my D-Link (smart) switches break eventually, so not using that brand anymore. Granted, it where not enterprise devices. My TP-Link switches seem to still work after 4 years without issues.
I have a good mix of switches now but my very first switch in 1996 was a D-Link 10/100 switch. It still works, just useless for today. I like the Mikrotik I have in the rack so much I got another smaller one to run the stuff im my garage. I have some TP-Link stuff, I like them, especially the kasa smart home stuff.
Paul! :)
Darth!
Ya know, your name here is what used to come up on the rossmann group phones when I called in from my cell.
Pure art. I will be impressed when you replace that whole racky with a single low powered device such as a lappy.
I liked these switches for their stability after firmware upgrade and proper config such as VLAN isolation/Port isolation. Later I started disliking everything I like only laptops now and if there is traffic I would rather route and switch through low low low power devices such as mikrotik and a laptop for a router and server.
I was thinking about that, I was going to get a drawer for the rack and put a laptop in it to run the PBX. But then I found someone selling these supermicro servers really cheap. Cheaper then an empty rack drawer. Its a low power intel atom but runs freepbx really well. I don't think there is any replacing the NAS and the large switch is really only for the 6 10GBe links it provides me, the other 48 ports will be useful too.
@@A2000MHz Less is more. One laptop to run it all. VMs, USB storage. Depending on the need. I am focused on laptops now because of the built in UPS he he. And the low power consumption. Will save money long term and will still be as useful for file servers as well unless you do a lot of video editing off of the NAS or need more performance. Then I would personally go for single thunderbolt NVMe and some USB3 backups.
I don't live near EWR anymore and I can hear EWR over the screens. damn those fans are loud.
Judging by broken button, dent marks near where button is (front panel, diagonally shaped), along with another dent near the fans, I feel like someone smashed this right into a wall or something and damaged the buttons and possibly fan bearings as well.
two fan bearings kaputing at same time would be unlikely so I guess those fans were intentionally put in there to have maximum airflow into the POE switch.
Nice work, not even Paul Daniels could do that.
don't fans spin the opposite way in Australia?
@@A2000MHz They probably don't even have electricity there yet.
And so, your solo journey begins.
long time no see 🍿
I'm back!
Started out easy enough until the mosfets had to be removed. I might have looked to connect directly to the rails and leave the transistors, but the way you did it was very clean. Very professional repair.
The only thing about the Noctua fans seems to be that they come in excessive packaging.
The box for those fans were extremely excessive! The fans were not very expensive but I wonder how much of my money bought the box, with its double velcro flaps full color information panels, soft touch antimicrobial like finish, print foil badge, and vacuum formed insert. We all know their name and know they make a good product. I still would have paid the 15$ a fan if they came in a white box with their name on it. Even better if it was 10$.
It was a long time since I saw a milipaul of flux!
The mosfet maybe there for variable fan speed (max speed only when the switch is too hot...).
As there is a lot of different version for the NF-A4x20 (5V, 12V, PWM (4wires) or 3 wires) you could have explain your choice as many time for network equipment the fans are 5V models.
Also you did not compare the Airflow/Static pressure or the original fan vs the noctua. Noctua is very good at making low noise fan but there's no magic: for effective cooling you need to move a lot of air and it makes a lot of noise... If you don't use the switch at max capacity it shouldn't be a problem but if you use the POE at max power you should monitor the temp via the admin.
Just saying because every video on YT about reducing noise using these fans don't mention the Airflow/Static pressure. The manufacturer choose the fan specifications depending on the cooling need, not the noise they make... Of course they can use 4 quieter fans instead of 2 for the same airflow but it's not really the same price (the noctua fan is $15)
It's just my 2 cents, just want to add some informations 😀
That's way more up my alley than MacBooks since I'm an IT enthusiast and do IT for small businesses.
I just cannot believe one thing: that those Noctuas have all the CFM and airflow needed to push enough air thru the box. The original ones are pretty much turbines for a reason: have you noticed a puny little radiator inside and no compartmentalization? So just wanted to ask: have you looked at the thermals under heavy load (like, lots of higher current PoE devices) and did you compare the datasheets for the fans?
It's just I've had the same problem - a server rack of quiet equipment and just one loud PoE switch, and I decided not to modify it for stability and longevity...
Is there anyway to use a LM317T or something similar to control the stock fans as a cheap alternative for light load applications?
Paul!
Tim!
Might have a Wii for repair 👀
Paul queue is RANDOM
has this mod held up? any problems with it since doing it?
I do not tax the switch, I only have 2 phones and 4 ip cameras connected to it but I have had no issues.
Hello. I need a help. Cnn you help me
Industrial equipment schemes way to impossible to find, that's true.
Fan buy link pls

What?! A button replacement?! Oh F it! I'd rather drink a bottle of vodka and play civ. (the first one, from 1992.)
but the button replacement was the easy part, changing the fans... wtf...
@@A2000MHz OK, tomorrow, after 1st coffee, I'll watch what you did.
You need to correct the lack of cats in your videos if you want to be taken seriously in electronics repair.
I know, I really do. But my fiancée is allergic. We are looking into getting a Russian blue, they are supposed to have much less of the stuff you are allergic to.
I do have turtles, I can work them into some videos.
Paul is a turtle guy :)
Noctua makes really much garbage.
No more cat poop scooping for the NYC defector? Nah just joking. No right to repair = more money with cat videos?
Only turtle poop scraping for me now.
👍👍👍
