What they told you both is correct let me explain. It is a limited 90-Day software warranty and a limited lifetime hardware warranty.
You had a hardware issue, David. Geo most likely has a configuration issue.

Being they got Geo into PuTTy, they are already doing some good-will. My guess is that they will probably help him if he calls back and asks for a manager. Support has always been good to me.
As for the configuration details, even if Ruckus won't help Geo, I am 95% confident we could help on this forum. We will need Geo to get the console cable situation resolved, so he can access it and paste some outputs for us such as:
show inline power
and
show inline power detail
