Dataone Problem after heavy rain

Hi guys ..

it rained here in m place yesterday and after that m ylaptop osnt working anymore ... and my dataone connection is weird..

it connects for the frst 5-10 mintus and connection goes off.. and it keeps connecting and disconnectiing..

i hav called the service person.. i thought that if it is correctacble by me it would save loads of time...

This has happened with me before. It could be due to open joints in the telephone wiring. If the joints come in contact with water, this kind of things happen. If possible call your local lines man and ask him to check the wiring.

Be with him while he does the repair. By that you can make sure it won't happen again. Please reroute the wiring to the box and check for any inaccuracy.

i cant even be online for 10 minutes..

i had to wait for 1 hour or so to again connect..


it seems or seems that if the router heats uop.. the connection ddrops..

more over as i said the laptop of mine had problem with motherboard and they are going to change...

i think lightining or surge would have friend my laptop and my router .. i am nbot sure..

i have placed complain in bsnl..they say they will rectify it .. lets see...

there is some issue with the wiring part only, plz contect ur area DE/SDE incharge of external plant
and fst book ur complaint on 198 or at pg cell of ur circle

guys my router heats up like anything..

i dont know whether its due to that ligtening.. or something....

but i think it has something to do with the router...

i dont know..
can anyone help me find whether its the router problem or bsnl issue..

i called them, they told that my area service is currently having problems..

but i dont know ...

i could be router problem also..

any help ?

It is natural that the modem/router heats up during summer. BTW, if you don't have A/c , ensure that the Modem/router is not concealed in a box like enclosure and there is adequate air circulation for the modem/router.

Mainly, please have a physical check that there are no joints in the telephone service lead coming to your venue from the pole/DP box of BSNL. if you fine joints, they would be main cause for the behavior you described after rain. Do contact the local BSNL personel and tell them that there are many joints and that you are suffering. As they told that many others of that area are suffering, there may ingress of water/moisture into the underground cable joint of BSNL.

additionally ensure that there are no additional telephones in your home especially before the splitter box. any such, should be shifted to after the splitter on the phone socket. this will ensure better functioning.
let us work for stabilizing the phone line before onset of monsoon.

thnks guys..

yes the modem/router was fried by the ligtening...

today i got the replacement...!!

atlast a lesson learnt !!

if it rains ... shutdown everything!!!

Well, you only need to shutdown when frequent lightnings occur, irrespective of the rain, ......

.....and secondly you need to shutdown all electronics/electrical appliances, not everything :001_tt2:
If the lightning hits phone cables, then what to do, you would want to disconnect telephone wires, cause in that period you may miss out important calls. Also TV cables are succeptable to undergo same problems. The world is wired around you it (and wierd). Its very unpredictable.

You already know still, when there is a heavy rain with lightning, please disconnect the phone line from your splitter. Remove the plugs from the power socket, cables if you have a TV tuner card. The same applies for all electrical appliances.

Most UPS provide lightning protection. Still as we value these instruments it will be a better idea not to use them.

Use a surge protector while connecting power to your Laptop / modem.
Even during normal time, there are occational surges in the power line that can fry the electronic circuits.

How much does it cost?

^^^
400-700 depending upon source/city/brand
A good electrician can also build u one for around 300.

That is not exactly possible every time
by the time you notice things would be damaged. Planned protection is the only way

you get 3 pin GD tubes and a terminating item called Rosette (around3X3") with built in protection. Talk to BSNL, JTO and try to get one installed in your home with a proper ground connection with thick copper wire. Local electrician can arrange a 4 feet GI pipe driven into ground and a connection picked up from its edge for the protection ground you need. For GOD's sake don't use the one used for power line.

Thats what...Actually what happennned is...your wires at junction where short circuited, during rain and after that.....
