    There's a whole bunch of leds on the front. You explained some colors but not what specific each light was. Page 7 of your manual lists what each light is. Try telling us what each is doing.

    Also there is the option of resetting the device using the reset button. Push and hold for 7-10 seconds. you stated you can't reset. Why not? 

    You can also contact your isp to have them resend the configuation file for it. 

    Here's you support site with manuals, troubleshooting, etc.

    It also has a 1 year warranty if its new.

    Try a reset with the cable coax disconnected? 

    How long you have had the modem? 

    I would reivew the user manual for LED troubleshooting information and see what the manual says. 

     

    I maybe time for a new modem.

      I have had it more than two years. But actually used it less one year. And I did the reset from any condition. But nothing is happened. Thanks!

        Might have someone check the power adapter voltage as a last resort. 

         

        Maybe time for something new.
