Hello guys,
I got that problem with my switch, it just says `BOOT FAIL` in PuTTY and also fan is not working. I changed fan with another working one but still fan is not working and still I got same problem. Is there any suggestions what should I do?
Thank you.

Thank you

Hi edsonnraya1,
Have you tried holding down the mode button as you would during the password-recovery process.
1. Hold down mode button
2. flash_init
3. dir flash: ( in order to verify the image-ios is present )chec
4. Issue the set command ( in order to verify the correct boot sequence in relation to the image-ios )
5. at the switch prompt manually type boot exp.
switch: boot
6. if all is OK then the switch should boot.
7. Upon successful boot-up you could verify the image-ios or ideally replace the image-ios.
The above worked for me but each situation poses variations.
I hope it is of some use.
Thank you.

Console into the switch and reboot.
Post the entire boot-up process. We want to see what is going on/wrong.
