JGS525PE All Amber LED on
Sturggling with a switch, we had a power outage and the switch cam back on with all amber LEDS on and no access to the web interface.
I have tried using the factory defaults button (held for eternity) to no avail.
I am hoping its not just dead and you know a secret way to brng it back to life. Firmware was running 1.27
Hi Ihaitspolling,
Since its still the same problem, it seems that the switch hardware became faulty. I encourage you to open an online case with NETGEAR Support at anytime. State what happened to your JGS524PE switch and the troubleshooting steps you did to isolate the problem. Kindly attach the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of the JGS524PE switch on the online case for warranty verification. If ever the hardware warranty is still valid, then an online replacement will follow.

Hi Ihaitspolling,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly try the steps below:
1. Disconnect the JGS524PE switch from your existing network and make sure its turned on. Get a straightened paper clip.
2. Insert the paper clip to the factory defaults hole then press and hold the factory reset button inside it for 30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, turn off the JGS524PE switch while you still continue to press and hold the factory reset button. Wait for 5 seconds.
4. After 5 seconds, turn on the JGS524PE switch while you still continue to press and hold the factory reset button. Wait for another 5 seconds.
5. After 5 seconds, release the paper clip from the factory reset button. Observe if the JGS524PE switch to boot up properly.
Let us know the results.
