A Revelation of DSL modem
At one time I thought my DSL modem was down since I had not switched it off before knocking off to bed. Just this morning after I came out from the shower, like a usual routine I turned on my computer and thinking of playing some songs before I head off to work. It was very strange that the modem was not blinking like it does normally. I checked the power socket and it was on. All other devices are functioning well. So I wonder what’s wrong with the modem now? I know I had accidentally kicked it off from the tower case since it is just a few centimetres away from my bed. I doubt that is the reason it goes kaput.
I tried to look for the receipt and started to analyze what should I do to claim for its warranty if the modem is really spoilt. Well I couldn’t remember where I put the receipt or perhaps I have already trashed it away. So then I was thinking what is the number I should call, is it the customer service number or they will direct me to call thousand of numbers later? Picturing of the whole process and how these people work has caused me sweat. I couldn’t even make up due the sweats on my forehead. -_-”
Time is near and I had to rush to work, so I packed the modem and its adaptor into the box and took them along with me. Maybe I can try to stop by the outlet later the day. All my mind could think of is ‘Please not let me spend another hundred dollar for buying a new one‘.
God is kind.
Just when I arrived to the office, I plugged the adaptor into socket to see if it works. I stood dumbfounded by the blinking lights of the modem. I inspected the modem and I saw this button
‘POWER ON/ OFF’. I pushed the button, the modem’s light off; so I pushed the button again and there the lights began blinking.
You mean after using the modem for almost a year and now only I realise the button for POWER ON/ OFF? I can’t blame myself because I had only been using router modem in the past, and that doesn’t have a button to turn power on or off. Thus I assumed this current device also has a similar setting with the router.
It’s all good now. No need pay extra to buy a new modem.
