Dell C610 modem - dead -

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

if youve tried another modem known to be good in it and it still not showing
and youve reinstalled the drivers then its a fault on the systemboard and
unless you can repair down to componant level then you need a nother board
to double check this you could always try your modem in another machine if
possible and if it works in that then its definatly your systeboard
