XS708T keeps rebooting after "Factory Defaults" reset

I have an 18 month old xs708T that has worked quite well since I got it new.  

 

I used the factory reset button on my switch this afternoon.  Now it is looping throught the following cycle.  

  1. Yellow LED boot up.
  2. LED changes to green
    1. If connected, the switch accepts a DHCP lease.
  3. After 4-5 seconds, LED changes to yellow and the process repeats.

 

I have tried following steps to recover both witrh the switch still connected and removed from the network:

  1. Press the reset default button for 30 seconds.
  2. Keep the button pressed while removing power for 30 seconds.
  3. Reapply power

 

Chat seems to busy to "chat" and I am hoping for some additional thoughts before I go through the replacement process.

    Skip the chat, trigger the replacement process, provide the details as you have done here. If they have some hope or fix-process, they will offer these before.
