Power light blinking, no IP

Did you folks ever figure out the blinking red power light issue?
Looks like my obi202 is doing the same thing, blinking red power light and cannot reset. Have tried everything and wondering if its dead?
Called and emailed obi, no response yet.
If you have some insight, please chime in!
Nope, no more insight... just different problems. I retired the Obi110 out of frustration and replaced it with an Obi202. Not only was the quality of calls reduced, six times now the router part of it has simply shut down, frozen, and stopped ALL my Internet traffic dead, including calls through the Obi202 itself (no dial tone, no response to * commands). Oh but surely it must be my fault because I'm sending it evil packets and making it gasp in horror. /sarcasm

Just heard back from obi support, they recommended to swap out the power supply and sure enough that was the problem!
If your power light is blinking and you tried reset to no avail, try a different power supply!
BTW, they are sending me a new power supply.
VT, sounds like you might have other issues, hopefully members here can help you. You might want to start your own thread, good luck!
Thanks obi for the great support...............

I had the same problem with my OBi202. I tried everything to revive it. I finally was able to revived it with the help of OBi support. What is not obvious is that you have to hold the reset pin down for a very long time. The best way to do this is to look at the OBi until the power LED light flashes green fast.
How to properly factory reset:
1) With paper clip in hand unplug OBi, insert paperclip, then insert power plug. Power LED should be red before inserting the paperclip.
2) OBi power LED should eventually flash green slow, then after some time flash green fast. If you keep pressing the paperclip it should eventually go to red. While it is flashing green fast, you can release the paperclip. It is not obvious when to release the paperclip. It is better to follow the visual cue of the unit rather than relying on a preset number of seconds to release the paperclip. Most users will loose patience or assume that they have pressed it with sufficient time. In my case it was close to 60 seconds before it was flashing green fast.
The OBi202 is not as stable as the previous units, or it takes much longer before the unit becomes stable after configuration changes. I suppose because it has more features, more things can mess up the unit if we make many changes. I have abused the OBi100/110 and never had a problem. I am not keen on making too many tests on the OBi202 at this point. I have had to factory reset it several times.
REPLY:
In this case, please try to do factory-reset when you power cycle the device by pressing the reset pin as soon as the POWER LED turns to red. Noted that the reset pin needs to be pressed for about 40-50 seconds (or until LED starts to blink in green rapidly).

I had trouble with my Obi once. I thought for sure I had bricked it. I had to resort to this method.
Unplug the power
insert paper clip to depress the button
reapply power to the device (continue holding reset)
continue to hold reset for very long time until device reboots

Tried every possible way to reset, no go. Never even thought it could be the power supply.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up since I thought my entire box was shot!
