3560 Switch not booting.

I have tried to follow the "Recovering Catalyst Fixed Configuration Switches from a Corrupted or Missing Image" tutorial shown below

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-2950-series-switches/41845-192.html

 

however it still does not boot. Every time I run "boot flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin" (with the binary being one I downloaded from the official download page) it does 1 of 3 things

the 3 different outcomes are:

1) the loading bar shows, then immediately the switch's power is shut off for some reason.

2) the loading bar shows, then the SYST LED blinks indefinitely with no progress on the boot

and finally, with the 3rd outcome, it does the same as number 2 except the SYST LED is static on.

 

What would I do to fix this? Image attached is the steps I am following to boot. The binary is uploaded via XMODEM due to the absence of a USB port

The switch is dead.
