It is the Power LED that is supposed to turn amber and begin to blink.
The only remaining "rescue" that I know of is to "flash" the firmware directly to the device using the "trivial file transfer protocol" TFTP.
If you are comfortable with computers, this is "sort of fun".
Here are the instructions:
