Introduzione
A relatively common failure on Ubiquiti switches is a power supply failure. A switch with a power supply failure will fail to turn on if powered on mains power, but will turn on if given 24-25V on the separate 25V port.
This guide shows how to replace the power supply inside the switch with a generic power supply.
