Dead RBS50

[xiaoxian]

I have a rbs50, looks like dead now.

1)solid green

2)no network activated

3)no ring light on top

4) can't reset

5) no wifi

So I checked all  in mother board of the router, Power suplly is all good, CPU(IPA4019) and QCA8075, but the router can not start properly. I notice a lots of customer of orbi have this problem. I think the cpu is broken or insufficient solder that cause all these.I will change the CPU if i can get one .but now i am still checkeing on main board. can some on give some advice for the problem,

If this fails then the RBS needs to be replaced:

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW. 
I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.

Try nmrpflash?
Others have had luck with that when tftp didn't work

There are no user changeable parts on Orbi systems.
