But the adaptor you showed was only 10V. According to the tech who stole my VMNG300 (

) mine was a first version and that had a 12V adaptor as shown.

The later VMNG300 modems had a permanent connection from the powerpack with a on/off switch fitted to the lead rather than a socket, some 256 modems also have these fitted as well.

You've lost me there Masque.

What's that got to do with 10V or 12V?

Depends on the number of hens teeth needed.

The vmg300 and hubs use 12v

All other modems are 10v I was mistaken with the vmng300 sorry

Forgot all about that - post reminder!

I just found this little snippet here.

"Are Hens Teeth Really Rare?

This expression may not be all the rage among the Gen-X, Gen-Y or Gen-2.0 crowd, but there was a time when it was commonly used to describe something very difficult to track down or find. The saying harkens back to long, long ago, as in 150 million years, back when the henâ€™s ancestor the archaeopteryx was roaming the world. This chicken of the Stone Age came equipped with feathers, claws and a beak full of cone-shaped teeth. Scientists not only recently discovered that hens still have the DNA necessary to grow a set of chompers, but actually successfully put the theory into practice. So there! MYTH VERDICT: FALSE"

Have the details off all the chips on the board so if you need any details of a particular chip let me know.

Regards.

Ooo, if I opened up my Superhub and fitted a reverse SMA aerial socket to it, would VM be hacked off? I have a second Superhub still in the box that I can leave unmolested for handing back if asked by VM...

If you cause issues on the network they can disconnect you and seeming as the equipment is not yours I would leave well alone.

Oddly enough you are talking about powerpacks and if you read my post carefully I was informing you that some VMNG300 modems do not come with separate powerpacks as the lead is permanently attached.

jb66 · 28-04-2011, 06:32

They all detach. The vmng300 your talking about is the second version which actually does detach after the switch on the cord.

V1 has no switch
V2 has a switch on the cord (to comply with eu regulations)
V3 has a proper switch on the back

But you cannot pull the cord out which was quite amusing when they released them as they forgot to tell us about it and we continued to ask the customer to take the power lead out of the back which confused them no end.

I have the V1 then.

true could be a v2 as it seems the difference from V1 and V2 is only the power supply.
