How to fix your AT&T UVerse NVG589

Short version: my NVG589 crashed and the red reset button didn't work, so I located the lid to the battery compartment on the base of the unit and removed it, then reinstalled and plugged it all back in and it worked fine.

I recently had my Internet, phone and TV become completely inoperative. I called AT&T immediately, and they assured me this was very important to them and set up an appointment straight away.

Shortly afterwards, they called on the mobile number I had given them to say there were outages in my area, and so they couldn't dispatch a technician until these outages were rectified. They implied that rectifying these outages would somehow fix my problem.

I doubted this, because I could clearly see that my Motorola NVG589 unit had crashed. The power light was red, and all of the other lights were steady. Not only that, but this situation remained the same even if I disconnected every cable from it, including the power cable (the NVG589 has a battery backup - presumably because without it, you no longer have a phone at all. It also has a note on it saying it is your personal responsibility to make sure this battery is in good shape, so if yours does go flat, be sure you get them to send you a replacement).

Because I had no phone to call them on, I had no alternative but to do the chat thing with their online "chat live now" tool, where they suggested I press the red "reset" button for 15 seconds to fix it. But pressing that did nothing. Ever.

So they said they would send a technician straight away. I waited until 8 that evening, but they never showed up.

Next day, I called them again. No-one ever suggested I take the battery out of this unit. They just kept scheduling appointments, and then a half hour later someone would call the mobile number I gave them to say the appointment was canceled because there were outages in my area. Even though I checked the website and there were no outages in the area ever listed on there.

Anyway, after two days of this game of scheduling and canceling appointments, I got the unit on my desk, figured out where the battery was and took it out. All rebooted and started working immediately with no further problems.

Now, I'm not saying you should do this. This is just what happened to me.

How to Kill a Process Stuck in Stopping State

On Windows 7:

Open a command prompt and query the service using

sc queryex MyServiceName

Where MyServiceName is the service that won't stop.

This will print a bunch of information, one item will be the PID. Use the PID (in this case 3604) from above and kill the process:

taskkill /PID 3604 /F

What order does my Asp.net code load in?

It's so confusing, but here's the main things you need to know: Individual ASP.NET server controls have their own life cycle that is similar to the page life cycle. For example, a control's Init and Load events occur during the corresponding page events. Although both Init and Load recursively occur on each control, they happen in reverse order. The Init event (and also the Unload event) for each child control occur before the corresponding event is raised for its container (bottom-up). However the Load event for a container occurs before the Load events for its child controls (top-down). Master pages behave like child controls on a page: the master page Init event occurs before the page Init and Load events, and the master page Load event occurs after the page Init and Load events.
