Fingbox V2 Overheating

PFalvey

Hi All

I have a fingbox V2 on the network and all was working ok untill the unit reported it was off-line. On checking the unit to reboot it i found it was so hot that it has started to melt the plastic on the bottom. I have unplugged the unit and left to cool down and it is now working again, but it is still hot and am worried about the possible fire risk so it is unplugged when no one is at home so defeats the perpos of having the unit.

Is there a fix for this, to me it looks like it needs a heatsink

Ok thank you, but seems I agree with the heatsink suggestion and placed a small computer fan in front facing it and the heating issue is gone..
