I just got a dead Linksys WAP54G (version 3) that looks like it has
been bricked (dead).
It was configurd by me here (at work), and shiped to our Brizzy
office - where they had it plugged into a PoE Switch (and it NEVER
worked) so they shipped it back... and it hasn't worked since. Hoping
to use it to base a host at JQK.

ETH link works (at least it link refelects network traffic); Power
OK; Wan is not lit; SRS (white) not lit.
It has the STT flash ram on it.
No ARP's being generated that Ethreal can see.

I have tried all of the shorting options listed on every website I
can find (SST Pin 16 (A18) to ground and boot for 2 secs etc)

I have built and soldered on a Jtag and that shows the 11111111111
error (ie. not powered on etc)..

Holding the Reset in for 1, 5, 15, 60, 120, 300 seconds does bugger
all.
TFTP -i 192.168.1.245 put <firmware> times out.

Short of flinging from a great hight; giving it to my 2 year old to
"fix"... and wiring it to a kite in an electrical storm..

anyone got any ideas?

Something I can look for?
I am wondering if these devices do PoE, and if they do - maybe having
power + P0E (from the switch) on at the same time killed it
(clutching at straws). I'll put a meter on Vcc and see if there is
any power getting around on teh weekend - no Cro to dig deeper than
that... but thought I would pose the question.
