Gargoyle Forum

I flashed tp link 1043nd with gargoyle v1.4.7.When my router restarted, my computer was not able to recognize it.Now only power and LAN lights are working.Admin configuration page is also not available.I tried failsafe mode but SYS LED is also not working.Now i have to fix the device using serial port.I am a newbie and have never done soldering.Please help me how in fixing the router and also tell me what are the common mistakes which i can do while fixing the router.My router revision is v1.11.

You spend some effort with Wireshark and the methods documented here http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... e_recovery before you attempt any soldering in your router.

It is a very rare thing that you cannot TFTP new firmware or get into failsafe recovery mode but it does take some practice.
