I'm just on the web surfing when all of a sudden my Speedtouch 516 dies. I did not do anything to the firmware and the power is completely dead. It's plugged in but no lights...any clues? |

The ST516 has a 1 year warranty, how long have you had it and did you buy it from TSI? |

Been noticing a lot of these dropping dead, my guess is it may be a heat issue as some people suggest on another thread. This is why I keep mine sitting on top of my Case fan from my Antec 900, cool air blows right threw it. |

Prior to its death it does get ridiculously hot, maybe the overheat did it. |

Oshawa, ON | Did you have anything on top of it? Like the above post I keep a fan going on my equipment. |

I had it on top of my printer before, and my Dad moved it on top the carpet rug. Unfortunately that may have done it. |

Ottawa, ON | Get yourself a 2wire from Caneris. I've been using one for the past month. $25 plus shipping and it has a built in wireless router which works well. |

Richmond Hill, ON | have you tried the back power button???
the 516 is a much better modem than the 2wire imo |

Ottawa, ON | I have both the 2wire and ST516V6 and they're both excellent.  |
