Greetings again. It's an ADSL Thomson Speedtouch 360 modem.
To the best of my knowledge there were no lightning strikes in the area over the weekend and the modem is connected to a surge protection powerboard on mains. Hope that helps. Thanks again.

We would be guessing ! Other points of interest would be :- What power surges , lightning strikes etc have taken place in your locality ? Have you tried a different power Pack at the correct voltage ? or is it Mains powered ?
