GS108Ev3 defect?
Hi,
I bought a used GS108v3 that according to the seller should be fine apart from port 1 not working, however when I connect it to power all I get are two blinking LEDs: Both power and (bizarrly) the right LED of port 8 are blinking green.
The switch is not accessible via tcp/ip and it seems dead to me.
Is there anything I could try?

a GS108Ev3 in this case.
If the reset key press for some 2..5 secinds does not recover, I fear you have a broken switch, indeed. Some internal power supply logic likely defect.
PS. Have requested a moderator moving this thread to the more appropriate Plus And Smart Switches Forum to discuss Smart Switches (T) and Plus Switches (E), including Local and Remote Management, as this isn't a Managed Switch at all.
Yes, it's a GS108Ev3.
I have tried the reset key several times already but to no avail.
I have read postings about installing new firmware via tftp - would that be worth trying?
