GS305P fails

Hi All.I have a GS305P that just failed on me after two months of use,I was using it to power 4 phylink bullet IP cameras  .I had bought it about a year ago off amazon,But only set up the cameras on POE about 2 months ago.The green power light comes on switch when the adapter is plugged in and all 4 POE Ports show a green light when cameras are connected .But the number 5 non POE port is completely dead no light what so ever.The switch was only on 8 hours a day at max ,So disappointed it failed so quick,Any idea's to why a switch would fail like this?,Thanks guys.

    Pull one PoE camera and use this port to see if the link to where ever it's connected to is workable.

      Hi ,Thanks for Reply.I went out yesterday and got a replacement switch that was not two expensive about 60 euro total ,I ended up getting a 120w Mokerlink 10-port Ethernet Switch with 8- port POE .I did what you said and disconnected one of the ports and still no luck.I am attaching some photos of switch and IP camera that are on my current set up .
