Default No lights on SB5100

modem went down today, when I put in new mac and firmware completes
all the lights go out except the orange pc one.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Yes your quite right it is on a 5101e.

Quite how it happened I do not know but for every new mac I tried after the ranging complete and operational all the lights went out except for the orange one (PC Activity)

How I resolved it.

Assumed it was bricked (How or why this happened I have no idea).

Put the original firmware on the modem and reinstalled haxorware using
Toms Jtag Utility.

Everything as you can see is working fine now and am using one of the macs that the modem originally refused to work with.
