I paid $250 in september last year for my nighthawk router. It went out a couple weeks ago. It came with a seller refurbished 2 year warranty apparently through allstate/square trade. I contacted the seller for warranty claim and he referred me to ebay square trade. I contacted them. They can't find any information regarding my purchase. I contacted ebay. They said contact the seller. I said I already have. The only thing I can get from the seller is a copy of the invoice. All I got from ebay and allstate was a runaround and high blood pressure.
I don't need ebay.

I never actually purchased the warranty. It supposedly comes with it. But I don't know. I'll stick to best buy from now on.

Sorry. Forgot to tell about the router. Hang on, I'll make a video.

Nevermind. It won't even power on now. I was getting a power light and a couple port lights at first. Then after a few seconds, the port lights would go off and the power LED would go dim. Now nothing. I checked the power supply (wall wart) and it is ok.

Just something to check to try to save the router, I have seen the power supplies put out the suggested voltage, but can't keep up with the amperage. Did you put your volt meter in the wires and check the power as it was trying to boot? Maybe try another power supply? Just trying to toss out some ideas.
And gotcha on "included". Might put ebay on the ball if you hit them with a "false advertising" statement. But, would need screen shots... I hate it when companies do this crap.

I got some screen grabs. If the item was more expensive then I may send them an email with a threat of lawsuit. I left a bad review last night on the seller's item page.

I finally got it to do something. You can see the port 1 light flickering then it reboots.

I'd go with what Tony suggested and try a different PS... what you are seeing is the same as if the PS can't supply enough amps/watts

oh ok. I pierced the power wire with some needles and monitored the voltage and it never sagged enough to matter. I don't have another PS that has the voltage this one does. But at this point I can cut one of the leads and wire it in series with my meter to see what currents are being drawn. That should tell right?

My neighbor gave me a weed eater brand string trimmer (think DR trimmer). The motor needed a bit of work and wasn't mounted. The mower frame needs some work and the bearings are shot. But I got it mounted on the frame today and cleaned up the coil/flywheel then poured a few ounces of barsol in the crank case to clean it out and filled the gas/oil. After a few pulls it fired off and I can't tell you how happy I was. I am bad at RC but am REEEALLLLY bad at engines. I understand how they work but when it comes to figuring out what is keeping them from running it's a pure enigma to me. I can't wait to get it out in the yard. These things are super handy and with the .155 line it will make short work of trimming around trees with low thick limbs such as my evergreen.

Yeah... that will give you the amperage.... I suspect you are right since the voltage doesn't drop as you mentioned but still it's best to be certain.

We do not normally answer tech questions here in the lounge, however I will help out this time.
Sounds like you broke the pin in the first gear set in the transmission. Check out my transmission videos from the playlist below.
