Switcher11,

 

Welcome to our community! :)

 

We apologize for the inconvenience. May I know if you can still access the GUI of the switch? What is the previous firmware version before you upgrade it?

 

Regards,

 

John

    Hello,

    It happens by updating Firmware V3 00 22 to 5.0.0.8. Forgot a bootloderfile, I think. And no, there isn't a GUI anymore.

    Can we bring it back to life? I'm a tech and got some screwdrivers and pliers.;-)

     

    Thank you for the quick response.
