Need some help unbricking a Cable Modem

Sonido · Aug 28, 2009, 02:13 AM

I could use a BlackCat cable method, but I don't feel like prying it open, soldering the header, buying the BC cable, and getting the software. It's too much trouble for this modem.

I have a SB4100. I've tried all the basics, including EB.

You want my SB4100 for your SB5100?

i was think maybe you had something you wanted to trade that worked

Lmao, I kinda figured that. I was kind of curious to see if that's what you meant, though. I was going to ask why...

Well, I have a DSL Duplex I can trade you, if you like? Can be mod'd for other services.

im not sure what that even does TBH...

It's all good. Everyone has to learn at some point, right?

It's a DSL Modem/Switch/Router w/ Wireless b & g. I do believe it can be used as a regular switch, too.

what happened to where the modem ended up bricked?

Huh? I think you're confusing the duplex with the modem I was describing in the OP. Am I right? Or are you asking how I bricked the cable modem?

Oh, funny story. It's not really bricked, per say. It just refuses commands from Ethernet. I flashed it. It worked great, until I rebooted it. Now, it just refuses to allow me back in

AthlonX2 · Aug 28, 2009, 03:19 AM

so maybe you could use the USB connection and flash back?

USB drivers don't work for x64. Trust me when I say I've tried everything.

I don't even know if that would be possible.

AthlonX2 · Aug 28, 2009, 03:27 AM

so you dont have anything other than the dsl thing for trade?

Sonido · Aug 28, 2009, 03:33 AM

Well, I have other hardware, but nothing that would justify a trade for a modem. I do have a nForce4 SLI LGA775 board from Gigabyte. But to trade for just a modem would be a bit off.
