sounds like you might have a corrupt firmware or boot up issue.

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

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.
