Blue Light

I have a C5 hub that I decided to do a soft reset on - Since then I've had a continuous blue light on the device after reboot.

I am still able to access the Diagnostic Tool at http://192.168.1.43:8081 and have tried everything in the suggestions found in this forum but nothing seems to work. I've tried reaching out to support a few days ago with no response. Finally I tried reaching out to @bobbyD yesterday directly with no response as yet.

Can someone please help with suggestions on what I can do next? It's extremely frustrating to have what appears to be a bricked hub, and reading the forums this seems to be a fairly common occurrence.

Thanks,

When you did the soft reset, when it came back up, did it give you the option to restore? Are you running a static or reserved ip or neither?

Also I'm sure @bobbyd or @support_team will respond soon

There is an option to restore, however the list of choices is empty. This is the popup message I see:

"You are currently running .
Select one of the following versions to switch to:"

Not running a static IP, also don't have a DHCP reservation at the current time. Would it help to have one, as mentioned I am able to access the Diagnostic Tool?

Thanks,

It is not common at all. It occasionally happens with new hubs that were not formatted correctly, and often the resolution is to get a replacement. It sounds like your hub encountered a critical error and likely is not recoverable.

If you have extended warranty via Hub Protect, it would be covered and you would be able to restore the cloud backup on a new hub.
