i noticed that everytime i press the on button, the power adapter light will start to blink(very dim) but the dns323 does not light up, i can hear tick tick sound from the dns323.
Once i unplug the power adapter connector from the dns323, the power adapter light will become full yellow color again. Is the power adapter spoil? or dns323 spoil(which i think is highly unlikely)?
I opened up and checked the dns323 board, no bloated caps or burn mark.
Can someone help me?

I would guess the power adapter is faulty. You may be able to get a new one from Dlink depending how old it is...

thanks,
but warranty over the 1 yr period.
hmm....not sure if can get replacement for it.
anyone knows where can i get in singapore if cannot get replacement?
-
Try contacting Dlink? Ebay? Or see if you can get an alternative with the same voltages/rating/pinouts?

I've rescued a number of devices by simply cutting the cable to the old supply and wiring a different unit with matching outputs to the cable. I keep old wall warts and supplies for this purpose.

i opened up the power adapter to check if for bloated cap but unable to find any
i then plug in again without the cover and it works.
After i put back the cover for the adapter, it fail again
I open it up and it work again, strange.
Somehow i managed to cover it back slowly while it work and now it seems ok.
Anyway, i am going to order an adapter, exactly the same model for backup.
Thank you.

I think I'd carefully examine the adapter and see if there's a bad solder joint or loose wire.
