My cable box is beeping at me

And there is a white light on the back above the coaxial cable that appears as a circle with a dot in the middle. What is that light for and is it supposed to be solid or blinking sometimes it’s solid sometimes it blinks could that be part of the problem or do I just need a new modem

I think they are now referring to their gateway and the moca light

I’m sorry, yes. I was referring to the light on the Xfinity gateway. Oops. The cable box is beeping and the light on the BACK of the modem is blinking (still have internet just fine.) just no tv and it’s kind of frustrating. Because the box just keep resetting itself and it won’t boot up at all. It also read in at 130 degrees on my cable box and 145 on the bottom. Should not be that hot.
In addition to that I also noticed the light blinking when I checked all the cables.

The tone almost sounds like a relay buzzing trying to flip on and failing or a fan or something of that nature it’s not a speaker generated tone I don’t know if I can post a video in here but I have a recording of it and it’s definitely coming from inside the cable box. It’s a solid state box and cloud dvr so should not be making noise.

Swap it out and don’t worry about your modem

That was my hope but I guess that’s not going to happen without a technician coming into my home. And I’m not comfortable allowing a technician in here because I’m disabled it’s cluttered it’s a mess and that’s not right for me to ask somebody to come into my dirty home. So I was hoping to be able to take it in and swap it out but I’m just going to have to wait until I have some assistance cleaning up here into where I’m comfortable having somebody come in my home. And that my bad that’s not Comcast responsibility I understand that and I’m not upset with them over that. I just wish that knowing that a piece of electronica equipment is bad was good enough to take it in and swap it out but it’s not. and that is regardless of my personal shortcomings and failures. Thanks for the help and I guess I’ll be watching on my pc if I get the thing to post and boot up lol. I’m starting to wonder if I had a power surge here. Seems very likely now but that’s a different website. Thanks for the info everyone if I do figure it out without getting the box swapped or if I finally get a handle on my chaos I’ll Put the cause of the issue on here. But I’m pretty sure the box is just fried they usually don’t get to 150° unless they’re problematic. I’m gonna go stick my head back in my tower PC and figure out that one now Merry Christmas everyone.

Mine is doing the very same thing I came here looking for help since nothing on the website addressed this issue. I wonder if this being the same day something else is going on with the systems

By curiosity did you do a system refresh before yours went bad? I’m almost sure that I was doing a system refresh and it lost power. I blew a breaker and I remember blowing a breaker the same time around when I did the system refresh regardless if I get a solution I’ll let you know on here and if you get a solution I would ask please let me know. And thanks for posting I appreciate knowing I’m not the only one with this problem. I had a problem a few weeks ago with some of my channels disappeared and it was because the billing department wasn’t giving the right information to my account saying that I subscribe to certain channels so who knows this could be an extension of that as well did you have any weird problems like that before by chance?

Thank you DCfox, seems we share a commonality. Medically Retired Military Police Officer here. Somehow managed all but a few months of my time in as law enforcement which back in the day wasn’t common. And as for the mess I don’t feel that exposing somebody to that mess is appropriate in any sense right now. I’m not sorry but I’m also aware that it’s rude to ask somebody to come into your home and have to move furniture out of the way so they can get to where you need to them to go. I’m not looking for somebody to help through here I’m looking for somebody to acknowledge the box is bad so I can just take it in and have it swapped out and avoid the embarrassment. I too have seen 1 million dirty apartments when I was on the job surprisingly many of them on base. I’m just not looking to feel the shame of yeah, I’m a slob, and there is the cable box and outlet. Need a mask and gloves? It is just me not wanting to make others uncomfortable and Also me not having the ability to render it what I would consider OK for somebody to come in. Thank you for the kind words but I just don’t have it in me to put myself out for that kind of embarrassment
