sounds like you might have a corrupt firmware or boot up issue.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.

just make sure you enable tftp

tftp can sometimes take a few tries because its sensitive to timing. MIght be worth trying a few times.
If you can't recover it using tftp/nmrpflash, you might indeed have a brick.
