I have been upgrading all the RV042s that are in service to V03. There were quite a few units purchased to do this and some existing V03 units that needed firmware upgrades - to get to 4.2.3.08.
Two of the "upgraded" RV042 V03 units ended up in a "bad place" and may as well be "bricked" for what I've been able to do with them.
I started by doing the 4.2.3.08 firmware upgrade.
These two devices are both in the same situation. ( I regret that I'm not able to say what firmware they started with).
1) The DMZ Mode light is on all the time (green).
2) The DIAG light shows amber some of the time but is off most of the time. If this is described as a "slow blink" then I'd have to say that it's VERY SLOW.
3) The units respond to the GUI login but the display thereafter only shows the menu on the left edge. The menu items respond to a cursor by changing color but when clicked on do nothing. Nothing shows on the rest of the window. So doing anything with the GUI is impossible.
4) The TFTP recovery software (Windows .exe) will run but ends up with a big red message that says "TFTP FAIL".
5) The device can be pinged successfully.
I have tried 30/30/30/10 reset to no avail as well as variations of this.
What should I be trying next?
