MR1100 does not finish booting

[MR1100User]

Hello,

I left my MR1100 on overnight and it powered off while I was using it in the morning. Now it fails to boot up past the on screen "NETGEAR" text/logo. I've tried various combinations of the hardware reset button (5 seconds and 10 seconds), removing to reinserting the battery, not using the battery, holding the normal power/top button etc. Nothing seems to reset the device back to working condition. If it helps, the LED is solid amber (not blinking). Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi MR1100User, 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

- Can you still access MR1100 admin page? 

- Can you still see the WiFi network? 

- Did you recharge the battery from a wall socket? from a USB port? 

- Where did you purchase the unit?

The admin page is inaccessible and the Wi-Fi network is unavailable. I've tried recharging the battery from various USB sockets ("wall" or otherwise). That seems to work, but not charge status is presented on the display. I bought the unit from AT&T's website and they're already shipping out a replacement unit. I just wanted to see if Netgear knew of any advanced debugging/recovery tricks.

Hi MR1100User, 

It seems to be a hardware problem on the unit.
