M4300-52G can't get kernel image
I have a M4300-52g and when I boot I get this. It never gets to the "checking for application" so I can't seem to reset it or load any new firmare. Only the OOB port seems to be working, none of hte other network ports will.
Can anybody know how to fix this problem??

N83,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly access the article below and follow the initial steps but select option 9, to try to activate a backup image. If ever this works then the firmware image is corrupted on the now non-active partition.
