    I have a tp-link ADSL2+ Modem router...w8970v3.

    It has worked perfectly for 2 months and today i had to turn it off, but when i turned it back on there is a high pitched noise coming from it, i actually have to turn the TV up so i cant hear it.

    anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? or is it goosed?

    I would probably want to run a can of air duster over it incase it's the fan that's gunked up.

    Cheers for replying guys, i turned the router off at the wall and let it cool down, just switched it back on and no noise!

    Lets see how long it lasts
