Thanks for the attachment. GS105 is just an unmanaged switch which is a plug and play device. There is no sort of diagnostic code on the LEDs that are showing on your switch. It would be best if you will open a ticket for RMA so that our support team may do a hardware check.

It sounds like you are suggesting the hardware is failing. That was my suspicion too. But this flashing sequence must have some meaning?
This switch is a few years old so I'm sure it's out of warranty. Do you think power cycling it once per day could cause any harm? I'm just asking in case I replace it with a new one, to make sure it doesn't suffer the same fate.
Well, we cannot do anything or configure on this type of switch. We can only isolate the cables or move the devices to determine the issue. Most of our switches cover a lifetime hardware warranty. I suggest you open a ticket for us to know if this device is covered too.
