If I took 2 wires and ran one from the postiive side of a 9v and one from the negative side and stuck them in either the cable modem input or the ethernet ports would it short out the modem and break it?
Would be doing this with old hardware as an experiment
Since you seem bored and marginally retarded try this. Get a disposable camera and rip out the capacitor (big cylinder shaped motherfucker) charge it with a 9V and discharge it into shit you wanna break. Try it on a screwdriver and you’ll see the capacitor had enough juice when charged to actually pit the screwdriver. Also it’s low current so it hopefully won’t cook what few neurons you’ve got left.

hmm that's interesting
do you think if I took bucked and mixed in some salt so it was salt water and dunked the cable modem in while plugged in it would ruin it? just for like 1 second?

I did this to a laptop to fuck it up so the store couldn't keep "repairing" it and have to give me a new one
>yeah dude that would probably destroy your modem would it be obvious it was water damage?
Michael Baker
yes

That doesn't do a thing to ports though. I tried to kill my laptop this year with one of those and the ports immune to that. You need to connect it to the circuit board, find a connection to can run the current through the processors to fry them. Not really hard.

Ethernet is much higher voltage than that already. If you want to cause damage you need to play with thousands of volts (pic related). Grab one of those and zap stuff with it.
