Netgear M5300-28GF3FIBER SWITCH Bricked after reset.

Can someone please help me my Netgear M5300-28GF3FIBER SWITCH has completley stopped working after a factory defualt 

all the amber lights are on and power light is just flashing.

I have tried to connect via consol cable and its not responding.

I think the switch needs to be re imaged. Can someone please help me and provide a step by step instruction manual if possible.

Is there any way to reiamge a netgear switch via USB?

    JohannB1,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Let me share the article below.  Kindly try the steps indicated.  Let us start with resetting the switch to factory defaults via the boot menu then check if it will boot up normally.

      cannot access the switch at all.  Stuck with blinking yellow poer light after factory reset using the cli menu.  Treid to connect to cli and there is no echo.  Can't ping the swith either.  Any other options to try to get the switch to reboot?
