Reset or reflash RED10 like an APxx

Today one of our RED Devices suddenly stopped working (no firmupdate or something else - just PLOP -> dead).

Now just the power LED (and the LAN Led if connected) are on and nothing happens. I disconnected everything from the RED, waited a hour and plugged in just the powersupply but nothing happens - just the power LED is on.

According to the blinkcodes sheets the unit isn't booting anymore.
Is there a way to reflash a RED just like an APxx or is there an other way to 'hardreset' such a unit?.

Regards
Manfred

Btw. Best thing about it is, that the warranty ended a month ago .. but that so typical for electronic devices.

You may be right. I did find something that looks like a Rev. 2 flash image over at http://www.astarosupport.org/Downloads ... but I'm not sure that's what it is.

I uploaded that file for Rev2 devices and Alan posted it, it can be used with the Wireless AP flash tool for Rev2/3 RED10's.

Is/will there be an image for Rev. 1 REDs? We have two bricked Rev. 1's.

I was told that Rev.1 units cannot be flashed. Maybe you could use them for bookends? [;)]

Doubtful, the method for flashing them requires dis-assembly at present [:O]

OK - as my 'defective' RED is out of warranty an alredy replaced by a new one I would give the disasseble method a try (if disassemble is meant physicaly dismount the cover/case).
