D7000 upgrade glitch

D7000 only shows solid amber power light and no others after upgrade. Cannot see router from any connection, wifi or ethernet. Power recycling does nothing. Reset turns power to a blinking amber/white nitelight but no change in usefulness. Is this now a brick or can someone help me bring it back to life? I am a novice with this but can learn quickly. Thanks.

   D7000 or D7000v2?  Look at the product label.

   Done how, exactly?

   You may be a candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme.  See, for

This guy needs to be banned, he's just an idoit asking how to take a **bleep**. "How exactly did you pull down your underwear? did you remove your belt???! Did you remove your pants?!! Did poop come out??!!?" What a joke

TFTP may well be the way to recover the thing:

This isn't the easiest of operations, so it might also help to track down a video that takes you through the process.
