Re: Red power light of death on 3 of 4 Dlinks?

Looking at your post, if you ran them directly from a 12 volt output, its fried. They are made to run at 5 volt, and will break if you run 12 volts through them. My thought is the 12 volts has fried the memory that holds the firmware. Its possible that the cpu can take 12 volts, or it has its own regulator, but the memory most likely does not, and the 12v will cause that to fail.
