Bricked SG300 switch?

[CluelessInSeattle]

This weekend I was updating my switch.  Uploded firmware and then set it to Layer 3 mode from ssh:

   set system mode router

But alas, the switch wont come back alive.

I've tried 30-30-30 and I see lights flash but only briefly and then nada.

I think I need to go find an antique 9pin cable and do something but try as I might I cannot find any documentation on what to do next.

Can someone take pity help a brother out?

Hi, 

My name is Iliya Gatsev from Cisco Technical Support Team.

The Power LED light is blinking all the time ? 

When you connect your PC to port 1 the port light is UP ?

The system light is fast flash, but there is no light on port 1 when I connect ir.
PC acts like there is no cable attached.

Woohoo!  The port 1 light finally cam on.

My PC shows an ip address of:  169.254.69.229

Now if I know the default ip of the switch in this configuration....

Hi,

The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.254
Please first change the IP address of your network card to 192.168.1.222

This way you will be in the same network.
