Cisco AIR-CAP3702I-A-K9 failed to boot

Hi All,

I've got this message at Console port during AP boot:

IOS Bootloader - Starting system.
flash is writable
Tide XL MB - 40MB of flash
Xmodem file system is available.
flashfs[0]: 1 files, 1 directories

And nothing happens after. It looks like something totally went wrong. Mode button won't work.
Please advice!

Thanks.

Best regards, Nick.

Contact Cisco TAC and organize for an RMA.

 - What's the LED  indicator status at that time ?

Regardless of the MODE button at startup it starts with White, then blinking Blue, and finally fast blinking Red.

Looks like you need to replace the AP like Leo mentioned. I’m also assuming you check out the doc regarding the LED status: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/3700/quick/guide/ap3700getstart.html#85902

 - Fast blinking red usually indicated hardware error(s) such as  RAM faults. The AP is toasted  - RMA the AP.
