Well, I am afraid there is no help for the router - it's a piece from my brother, who played with it in a nasty (and not educated way).

He did some flashing, then he did not have some web interface (to flash another fw), got a 'great' idea from web to try pin9 trick with the asus wl-500gp v1 (did not ask me if that's safe) and the router is now dead.

I've connected a serial console (which works ok with my wl-500gp), but there are no messages going on after power up.
I would guess that the boot loader (CFE) is corrupted in the internal flash.

Power on led would not turn on after power on, air led seems to be on half way. LEDs from switch ports react when you connect active utp cable.

It would be great if U12 could be used somehow to program or override the internal flash, otherwise I am afraid there is no help.

I would not like to desolder the flash chip, program it and solder it again - that's too complicated (I know how it was when I upgraded ram to 128MB of my router, had it dead for two weeks). Organizing a meeting to get access to hot air gun was not easy either...
