[geeks] netgear fan replacement help

[Lionel Peterson]

I'm all for keeping old hardware running, but a replacement switch is $80 new,
and that is a 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch...

Does it have a lifetime warranty from Netgear?

Igor a great 24x no-name manages switch with 4x 10 Gb ports for $139 IIRC,
maybe time to upgrade?
