I don't know if this helps, but I used to have a personal modem that used to
act up from time to time, and sometimes when I plugged it in, I wouldn't even
get the  "OK" beep. I opened it up and discovered that one of the connectors 
that joins the two circuit boards seemed to be slightly oxidized. After a good
cleaning and reassembly, it worked without a hitch.
