GS116 V2 Dead on Arrival

I installed my new GS116. Low 8 ports have all of their LEDs on. regardless of cables connected. High 8 ports have all of the LEDs off. Again, cabling makes no difference.

Any thoughts other than returning it?

They have issued an RMA. I asked them to waive shipping since it was a DOA. I am not sure that is working.

One set of shipping costs wipes out much of the sale price difference I found.

Support says the symptoms could be pointing at the power supply. I am looking around for another 12V supply. I am sure I have some somewhere.

Another thing of interest. The lights work incorrectly as I have posted; but the switch seems to work like a switch.
