How to recover a corrupted 6850

[hamadaltaf]

Hi,

Is there a way to push a new image file to 6850 and force it to reload the new image.

For some reason the switch in my lab is gone down. When I try to connect through console, I get the following error in an infinite loop pattern.

I see a blinking amber in the OK LED indicator. Any idea on how to fix this switch?

Thanks,

can you stop in miniboot? if not i guess it's ready for an RMA..

With you uboot a usb recovery is not possible :-/

No. I am not able to interrupt this message in any way. It just keeps flowing.

If it is a software issue, is there any possibility of resetting the device to factory defaults?

If you can't get it into miniboot/uboot (which you normaly do by interrupting with "s" when the message appears), i don't know a way to reset it.
