Damn. Looks like the #Cisco #Catalyst3750 I got from work might be DOA. The lights keep flashing (the top 3 are flashing amber, the rest green) and even power cycling or holding the mode button does nothing.I can't console into it and I don't hear fans running either, which IIRC, the 2960 I had definitley made some noise when it was running. Any #NetworkingNerds have any troubleshooting ideas?

Just to give some history - I think it may have been sitting on a shelf for a few years and it *should* have been wiped, since it was going to be e-wasted since we moved our DC and didn't have the space for unneccessary things. So I don't know if its just dead from sitting on a shelf for years.

I'm not looking to replace anything unless its cheap since this was a project and I may not have kept it in the long run anyways. Just want to see if I can confirm its a hardware issue.
