NetGear ProSafe FS116P 16 Port... Problem:
When I Plug in my FS116 it works fine for a few hours than once it warms up all the LED's start to flash and it loses connectivity. The power seems to go from 12vdc to 6 vdc, but the output from my plug in xfrmr remains steady at 12vdc . Maybe a bad voltage regulator ? Whats your diagnosis ? I wish I could get a schematic so I could troubleshoot it .

I had the same issue with the 8 port prosafe GS108.
open the case, look for the small (barel like shape) capacitors near the power connector.
Their top is mostly silver and should be FLAT, if it is uneven or slightly expanded as if ready to explode, that is the one that need replacement.
Best source is any old motherboard or if you prefer, buy a couple new ones.
6.3 Volt, 1000mF (micro Farad)
If you cannot determin which one is gone, just replace both or how many your switch has.
