@ip22 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

What's the current firmware version of the GS716Tv2 (should be seen using Smartwizard) and what firmware are you upgrading it to? 

 

To confirm as well, have you also tried pressing and holding the Factory Defaults button? Based on your description, I believe you only tried pressing the Reset button which is right next to the PWR LED.

Hi @ip22,

 

It seems that the switch itself is already defective given that we've already performed a reboot and factory defaults on it.

 

Having that said, I suggest getting a replacement in which you can start here.
