Hello and thanks for reading. I'm curious if anyone has any ideas on what the issue might be with this phone.
I noticed that the phone reset itself multiple times <5 over the past week which I thought was odd, but I ignored it because it only lasted 1-2 minutes and everything was back to normal. Today I noticed it was powered off completely.
I reseated the cable and lights flashed and the screen turned on briefly and then it turned off. Trying a different power outlet and cable gave the same result. I tried the suspect cable on another phone, it worked with no issue.
This isn't PoE this is a 48V .375A power source. Any ideas what may have caused this? Thanks!

The phone may just have died. We've had a few go bad where the phone randomly resets, etc. which if in a call center environment is really a problem.
Also, not sure if this is your same model of 7931, but if so, they are pretty old anyway and went end of life a few years ago?

Phone got faulty seems like having issue on bootstrap loader which means unable to expand firmware from flash memory to initiate its hardware and software.
Raise a RMA with Cisco if phone cover under warranty or under contract.
