AC2300 nighthawk router flashing lights

Question

My R7000P Nighthawk AC2300 router has started flashing lights in a weird sequence when plugged into the power. I've tried holding down the reset button for 30 seconds, I've tried different outlets. When attempting to update the tftp settings, the router isn't even detected when plugged into my PC. It seems bricked, is there anyone else with a similar problem and/or solution?

Thank you.

Only other thing I'd try would be nmrpflash.&nbsp;

another thing to check is the power supply. I've seen a bad power supply cause bootup issues.&nbsp;

Thank you for the suggestion! I have ordered a 12v5a power supply to test out, which should arrive on Friday. I will update whether or not this solution works, then try the netgear unbrick github suggestion.&nbsp;

Not sure if the power supply option will work. Was just something to try.
Usually people have one sitting around that matches voltage/polarity that they can try.&nbsp;

I downloaded the nmrpflash software and am able to open it, but whenever i type a command it instantly closes. the bottom of the command prompt says " press any key to exit". I'm not able to type any commands?
