cnet 5614XE external fax modem need info

I've had this for a long time, but haven't used it for 5 years. Somehow the ac adapter and whatever literature there was have disappeared. Can anybody tell me the DC voltage and current specs?


There's a realistic chance that if you get out a magnifying glass and hold the unit at an angle to the light, that you'll see, in teensy raised print, the numbers you're looking for.

Look inside and and follow the power from the connector. First, the center pin should go to the supply bits, not to ground. That shows the center pin is + or -.

Then see what they're using for a regulator. The input will have to be more than that.

Does it have a bridge rectifier? If so the supply was probably AC, but you can use a DC supply with it.

Lastly, first try a +5 v supply, if that doesn't work, then try a

+12 v supply.

Submit a question. Can't hurt, might help. Otherwise, back into what is needed as others have advised.

Been there. Not the same model, and no DC voltage spec anyway. I have not found a way to contact CNET. All I get are recordings having to do with news; nothing about products. I think they left that business some time ago.

Thanks; I have submitted a question.

Here is the reply:
