I'm learning about electronics bit by bit, making projects and tearing things apart

Whilst I’m waiting for some parts to produce the PCB of the simple motor controller I’ve been working we’ve got a quick teardown, it’s the Belkin F5U246 SM/XD Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Media Reader & Writer which just reads SM and XD cards. As you would expect there’s not much to see here just the one main chip.

So now we’ve got something that was made probably 2-3 years ago, the Netcomm NB9W ADSL2+ Modem Router with VOIP. It’s a large unit and at first you think it’s all just plastic but it really looks like a lot of hardware for a router like this. This router has lots of Broadcom chips.

Here’s my first post, inside the 2Wire 2071A Bigpond Gateway, I think this modem is about 2-3 years old. No screws to unscrew this modem, so I just took a dermal to it and opened it up (not like it was working anyway).
