Model: TL-SG2008  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: From 3.0.9 to 3.0.12

Team,

 

This morning, I tried to upgrade a SG2008 switch from 3.0.9 to 3.0.12

The upgrade failed. It looks as if the switch is bricked - even a factory reset with the reset switch is not possible.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

With warm regards - Will

Hi @ITV 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.
There is no recovery mode for the switch. You can consider the RMA if it does not work properly anymore.

Thank you for the tip - I just replaced it with a SG2008P as I needed the PoE capability.

FYI, such a case is not under warranty.

I recommend you get it in a power-stable environment if you perform any upgrades. For any devices, if you break power during the upgrade, most will become bricked. Apply to all hardware devices.

 

As I don't take care of the RMA, so contact your local teams. I would reject such an RMA request if this is the sitaution. This is due to human error, and it is not under the warranty.
