lighting up joliet Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hello, I fun 4 boxes in my display and one of my RJ45 jacks on one of my boxes is not working. i figured i could bypass this by using a RJ11 and making the broken box the last one in the chain. will this work? or do i need to do something else.

Mr. P Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just put it last in line until the off season then you can get it repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcktpwrd Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I had a couple of the rj45s acting up in a couple of my controllers last year. Turns out that some of the tiny spring loaded wires inside the female jacks were stuck in the down position and/or slightly behind the plastic frame of the jack. This kept the connections from working because there is no wire to wire contact when inserting the male rj45. Using a very small dental type pick I was able to release the sticky wires and now everything works as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
