Ruckus stopped working after recent power outage

Amulyabhat — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 21:18:42 GMT

After a power outage a couple of days ago, My Ruckus has stopped working. I just see the amber and yellow light. I was provided by a friend to follow instructions in an article "How to perform a software recover on an ICX7150 switch". When following the instructions and after connecting the two cables, when I try to open PUTTY under a "COM" session, it display an "error". I went into device manager to see if the USB "COM" connection was detected, but I do not see it. This is the exact same place I got stuck the last time around when the same issue happened. After many weeks of back and forth, I was sent an RMA, with a new ruckus box and then it has worked. Until, the power outage a couple of days ago, and I am afraid it is again the same issue and I am stuck at the exact same place.

Ok, I was able to download the driver on another personal device and can now FINALLY see the PORT in my device manager, but now when I open Putty to run the session (under COM3), I see a blank putty terminal (see below). I cannot seem to type anything

I did a bit more research on why I see this green triangle and cannot run anything on PUTTY ... see article below (same issue as mine) ... it seems its stuck in boot state and I need another RMA ... I'm doing my best to resolve this quickly as I do not have internet at home and causing me issues, so hopefully research and all troubleshooting methods can get us to a resolution asap.

35 to 40 times? I tried about 5 times and no luck. Everytime I do the reset it goes back to the Amber and green light as shown in the image below. I am also attaching the image of the usb to type c connection from laptop to switch

Another screen shot of PUTTY, as you will see it says something sbout "Flash" being "failed". Also at this point I have pressed the hard reset button with paper clip over 40 times

Hi @Amulyabhat

Thank you for your response and for sharing the information.

Based on the image you provided, it appears that one of the Software Recovery cables is connected to the incorrect port on the RUCKUS switch.

Please refer to the screenshot below and ensure the cable is connected to the correct port.

Once corrected, kindly restart the Software Recovery process from the beginning.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Same issue, no diff.

Re: Ruckus stopped working after recent power outage

Amulyabhat — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 17:52:55 GMT

Imran, see below article, this is the exact command I see on PUTTY ... Please note again this requires RMA. I would like to immediately start the RMA process as I have been without internet for 5 days now and cannot work from home.

Really appreciate your help here
