WRT54GL power led keep flashing, hard reset doesn't help. router is dead?

Just got my new WRT54GL. It worked very well for couple hours, and then I can't connect to it any more, wireless or wired.
Tried hard reset and follow instructions from here, it didn't help, power led still keeps flashing. I can't ping 192.168.1.1 or tftp to it.
So Router can be announced dead? I know it most likely be the flash bios issue, but what can I do with it?
Thanks!

Unplug the power cable for 1 minute..... plug back the power & see if it is solid or not ....
If not lower down the Ethernet card speed from Auto to 10 half duplex or 10 Mbps ..... reset the router for 40-50 seconds ..... check the Ip address ...try to ping the gateway address if getting reply open routers set up page & upgrade the firmware of router ........
If not getting valid Ip address use static Ip address 192.168.1.50 ...subnet mask 255.255.255.0 .... & gateway 192.168.1.1
Again try to open the setup page ..........

That's not a good sign, take your iPhone to a premium reseller or to an Apple Store.

ITouch stucked at completly black screen (hard reset doesn't help)

My iPod touch 4G is stucked at completly black screen, with no apple logo at all.
This happened after restoring my iPod touch.
Also hard resetting (holding home+power for 10 seconds doesn't work), LCD isn't dead as I got it to go white when restoring.
Now I can't even restore. I always get error 1600. But I can't reboot to solve it. If I do so, it doesn't show apple logo, but just keep black screen.
It's mega urgent.

Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Mac Pro will not boot. Power led just flashes

When I start up, the HD spins but then the power led starts flashing at a constant rate. It also never gets to the gong. I tried everything on the support pages.

Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2.
It would be helpful to be more specific about the flashes such as the sequence, timing, etc. So, you will need to examine the above and its links to see if you find something descriptive of what you have.

My fully charged iphone4 is dead. Power and home reset doesn't help.What else can I try?

How do you know it's fully charged? Are you sure your adapter is working?
Plug it in to mains power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically turn on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If it still doesn't turn on, it's likely a hardware failure.

my router is dead and the power led is flashing the firmware is corrupt i have tried everything to fix it and i cant access the web based setup

Assign a static IP address on computer like 192.168.1.10 and see if you can ping 192.168.1.1 if yes, you can try updating firmware using tftp utility.

Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

WRT54GL - Power Led blinking after unsuccessful flash-attempt

Hi there, I wanted to flash my wrt54gl with some other version of dd-wrt firmware. There was another dd-wrt image on it before the flash, but when I chose to "upgrade" the firmware, the router hung with power led blinking and the SES button active. So I aborted the flash with a powercable-unplug, and plugged it in again. Since then the router doesn't start up any more. I don't get an IP via DHCP, with static configured IP 192.168.1.2, pinging 192.168.1.1, I get a response, but I can't get to the web interface again. I tried the 30sec Reset-trick, didn't work out. I tried to upload the original Linksys firmware via the Linksys TFTP-tool, which didn't work out either. U got some other clues, what I can try to get my wrt54gl back alive again? greets gothic5k

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
it will definately work!!

Ipad 2 keeps requiring hard reset

I am having a problem with the iPad 2 that requires me to do a hard reset to get the iPad to come back on. This has happened 3 to 4 times now and I've only had it roughly 3 weeks. Last night it was low on power (10%) and when I went to wake it up it wouldn't come on. I thought a process must have drained it so I put it on the dock and went to bed. I woke up this morning and it still would not wake up. I held the sleep and home button down for a few seconds and got the apple logo. When it came on it didn't charge although it's been charging on the dock all night. Anyone else seeing this happen with their iPad 2 on 4.3?

Went back to the Apple store and this time the agent was able to do an normal diagnostics (which, by the way is pretty cool how they do it over the internet). The last agent that helped me couldn't run a proper diagnostics because 'the networ was down'. The diagnostics said I was running low on memory a lot and the agent looked at all the apps I had running in the background (lots!!) and showed me how to close them after no longer using them. But he also noticed that the time my iPad had saved for being used and sleeping were identical so he concluded it was a hardware issue and promptly exchanged the ipad! That was pretty awesome too. Overall I'm still very happy I bought an iPad

WRT54G - Hard Reset Doesn't Work

I have tried multiple times to hard reset my Wireless G WRT54G ver.2 router, but have had no success. I held the reset for 15 sec, 30 sec, 2 min, etc and also tried holding it and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in. I've tried everything that I have seen suggested. My problem is that I don't know what the password is to access my router's web utility thing and I need to change the IP address. With every reset attempt, I hope that the default admin password will work, but sadly no. Any ideas of what to do? Thanks!

You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

IPod touch won't turn on, charge, iTunes doesn't recognize it, and the hard reset doesn't work

My iPod touch 5th gen died so I put in it the charger. Now even the dead battery screen doesn't come on. iTunes will not recognize it, The hard reset won't work, recovery mode doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
