sg300-52P consistant system light flashing

[Johnny_556]

Greetings,

For some reason my switch keeps flashing the system light constantly and even if I try to hold the reset button for 30 secs to clear all configuration and start from scratch it does not work. I can get access to the console but once I clear the password and reboot it goes to the old settings and i cant do anything. I have documented everything from the CLI to notepad if anyone need to take a look at it.

You need to use GUI and look at the Quick start guide :

Thanks for the suggestion BB, I have already took a look at it without any solution. Today I tried to get into the console since by GUI it wouldn't let me and this is what came up.
