Hello,
I was running "openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory" (rc4), and was having trouble with the UI. So I thought I'd try a newer version. (Based on the openwrt homepage post about the trunk being very stable.)
I tried to flash with "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade" (trunk) via the web interface. The router did stuff, but rebooted to just the "power" light on.
After some time (10 minutes), I tried power cycling the router, and the lights flash for a second or two, but again just settle down to only the "power" light being on. The LAN/WAN leds do light up depending on if a cable is plugged in.
Clicking or holding the "QSS" button on power up does not change anything. (The SYS led never starts to blink.)
Did I just kill my $65 router? Is it fixable without soldering in a new flash chip?
Thank you
