Ruckus stopped working after recent power outage

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.

Hi @Amulyabhat 

Greetings of the day!!!

Thank you for sharing the requested information.

Based on the troubleshooting performed, your ICX-7150-C12P Switch is not responding to CLI/Console access, and the Software Recovery process has been unsuccessful. A hard reset was also attempted; however, the issue still persists.

As a result, this Switch unit appears to be defective and needs to be replaced through the RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) process.

To initiate the replacement, please contact us via chat using the link provided below in this post. Kindly copy the URL/link of this post and paste it in the chat along with the serial number of your RUCKUS Switch when prompted.

Please refer to the example screenshot below for guidance on how to copy and share the required information:

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.
