What are the led's on it doing?
Did you try a factory reset? Push and hold reset while powered on for 7-15 seconds.
If that doesn't help, you can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
