You will need to contact support as there could be a hardware issue with the unit.

    Greetings aisorn,
    
    Did you perform the reset procedure in the link schumaku provided?
    
    Wat were the results?
    
    3 possibe causes fo this behavior:
    
    -Corrupt or incomplete FW
    
    -Defective hardware
    
    -Weak or defective power supply
    
    If a reset doesn't work via the reset button, attempt to manually reflash the FW from a machine connected via ethernet. TFTP is built into windows 7/8/10. Please post your progress.
