System light blinking

We had a close lightning strike yesterday evening, and since then my HT1100 modem ONLY has the system light blinking. No other lights are on. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You're welcome! The replacement modem I've sent should have a return label in the outer pouch, so you may send your old modem back in the same box. Since you purchased your HughesNet equipment, you don't have to return it, but it's an alternative to finding your local e-cycling center to recycle your modem.

    Have you attempted to reboot your terminal since then?  How close was the strike?  ODU could be fried if close enough...

      I have reset everything more than once. Strike was very close-not sure what it hit but very close.

        Not sure about Gen 5 but on Gen 4 there is a BIST test, can show if something is fried:
