PIX 501 - Power issues

[jbanker]

I have a PIX 501 that has been working great but on my PC today I lost connectivity. When I looked at my PIX the VPN light was blinking rapidly. I did not have VPN setup but everytime it gets plugged in the VPN light is the only LED that lights up and blinks rapidly. Is my PIX fried? Is there any way to reset it from outside on the PIX, hard reset? Thanks

Hi

Have you tried checking the logs/status of the pix via the console?

I cant even get in through the console, nothing happens.

This is an issue with the POWER CORD. When the power plug moves a little (Heavy vibrations) bit the PIX hangs and nothing work.

Unplug the Power plug and put it in again.

Have the same problem on mine.

Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do, this is a hardware issue and if the guarantee has expired you have to live with that.

sincerely

Still no luck. I have a feeling it is fried but at this point I will try anything.
