Continuing with my run of bad luck from ebay (recently had a VMG3925 with faulty WiFi) I am now the proud owner of a (probably) bricked VMG1312-B10A.
The seller told me it was taken out of service in a working state a few months ago, but it certainly doesn't work now.
He has refunded me and doesn't want it back, so that's fine.
I am wondering how dead it actually is, as its symptoms are:
Powers on to slow flashing green power light, followed by faster flashing green, followed by solid red.
If I connect it to my laptop and set a static IP I can then ping the router on 192.168.1.1.
However 'ping' is all I can seem to do - it doesn't appear to respond to anything else.
So, there is some life in there but seemingly only a little.
Is this recoverable or does it need to go to the Zyxel home in the sky?
