GSM7248v2: Switch not booting, Power LED orange, no console.
Hi,
after disconnecting the switch from power and reconnecting it the switch does not boot any more. all interface LED are lit, fan LED is green, Power LED is orange. i have no output at all on the console. pressing the reset button has no effect. also tried the reset button during power-up but same problem as described above. any ideas how to proceed ? the switch worked without problem prior to the power cycle.
regards

- I had this same issue and Netgear refused to warranty the switch. I opened it up and all the caps were bad. Replaced them and it boots and works normally again. Also check your heatsink pads, as one of mine was bunched up and not covering the processor.
- Only do this if Netgear won't honor their warranty (which I find is quite often). Otherwise RMA with them.
