If it's under warranty, you should get it RMAd.
You'll need to contact NG support for this:

Hello all,
Thank you for your messages.
I tried again today and for some reasons it is now working.
I managed to submit a file.
The only thing i changed was that i pasted only the link to this thread in the description, instead of my usual (and probably too long) descriptive text. If it's a case of character limit exceeded, it is not clear on the website (or error message) plus there is no indications of the actual/max text size.
I'll keep you informed of the outcome,
Thank you all again,
Cordially,
BenjaminHello All,
After a few days, i'm back with good news.I exchanged some messages with the support and finally got a RMA number with instructions.
And after sending the defective unit last week, I received yesterday the new unit in a complete box.
(It was specifically asked to send only the switch, not the Psu, nor cables, nor accessories, etc)
So i guess i have a spare Psu now 🙂
So, in the end, thank you all for your answers, and thanks to Netgear for the quick RMA process.
But please make your site more explicit when there is an error when we try to submit a case.
The "SomethingWentWrong" error doesn't help (I wasted almost 2 weeks with it).
Thank you all again for your help,
I wish you a good day,
Best regards,
Benjamin
