I'll take a guess that it was either a power buss problem on the 101 spacecraft or a mistake in maneuvering that mis-pointed the satellite antenna. The power bus is redundant and I don't know if they are in parallel or switched automatically or requires commands from the ground to switch to backup. On the mis-pointing, that usually takes some time to figure out what went wrong and to calculate new parameters to make corrections.
