GS724tv3 fails to boot after firmware update

 

Hi,

 

I performed a firmware update on our two GS724Tv3 switches nightly, first one went through without problem, the second now fails to boot..

 

Funny that the situation is exactly the same as here:

Any suggestions?

    Hi str1k3r,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Kindly answer the questions below: 

     

    a. What is the behavior of the LED lights on the second GS724Tv3?

    b. Have you tried to perform a factory reset on the second GS724Tv3 then check if it will boot up just fine? 

     

    I look forward to your response.

     

     

    Regards,

        Hi str1k3r,

         

        It seems that there is a fault on the hardware.  With regard to this, I suggest you to access your MyNETGEAR account then open an online case with NETGEAR Support here at anytime.  Kindly state what happened to the GS724Tv3.  Also, attach a .pdf or .doc copy of the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of the GS724Tv3 for warranty verification.  If ever the hardware warranty is still valid, then an online replacement will be processed.

         

         

        Regards,
