AC3000(ex8000) flashing green power light after failed firmware update

Firmware update failed and now have flashing green power light and also all whitel lights flashing.
Tried a tftp flash. Seemed to be successful from the tftp client tool but green light is still flashing.

What should the default ip address be for this device?
Have tried 192.168.1.250 and 192.168.1.10
Both had the same result

Sometimes you have to let it sit for quite a while after tftp to let it fully boot. I've got the same and had to tftp it and I think it was several minutes before it fully booted/cleared. 

I've also used nmrpflash on it before. 

 

What firmware did you push to it? 

 

The default ip address should be 192.168.1.250 if everything's been cleared off it.

Thanks for the reply, is there any way to check its ip address at this point?

I have left it for at least 4 minutes after every attempt as recommended and also overnight but still has the green flashing light.

try pushing a different version of the firmware to it with either nmrpflash or tftp. 

Maybe its a corruption with the version you're on.
