ive done that several times. unlugged everything and plugged back in. dreampi boots up fine from what i can tell. i can ping it and it responds. i have a 5v 2amp power supply, which has been working for a few days and was working today. now just no lights on the modem, i mean they blink when dream pi powers up. but thats all youll see of them
