Re: EX8000 all lights are blinking

to factory reset, push and hold the reset button while its powered on. Hold it for up to 30 seconds. 

then let it boot up. It might take a couple minutes. 

Did that work? 

If not, you might have corrupt firmware. you can try recovering it via tftp. 

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
