GS724Tv3 Orange Power light only - won't boot after firmware update

Hi all, In theory this should have dual firmware to prevent this happening but 30+ seconds of holding rest (with everything unplugged) isn't kicking it into life so thought I'd see if anyone here ...

    sc101hell,

     

    Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that this switch has dual firmware to prevent this happening?

    I was therefore trying to ask the community if they know a way to switch to the other firmware/ any way to reset this please? Can you help with advice as seems a real shame that this is bricked when it could be useful?

    The GS724Tv3 supports Dual Image.  One image is the active image, and the second image is the backup image.  As reference, kindly read pages 261-263 of the GS724Tv3 Software Administration Manual here.

     

    Not sure if this will help.  Let me share the old forum thread here.  Read the solution posted by -c0de- and you can follow the steps he did at your own risk. 

     

     

    Regards,
