Bricked MikroTik hAP AC2? Any possible recovery?
     I think I bricked a MikroTik hAP ac2 (RDB52G-5HacD2HnD).  It was a used one I bought and I was trying to do a factory reset; held the reset button and powered the unit on.  Did it a couple times and still was not responding to the default IP address.  So I reset it one more time and I think I held the reset button too long...now when it comes on both the PWR and USR leds light and neither changes after that.  So I tried the initial PXE setup process to try and load the the rb.elf file.  No response from the AC2 as no "TFTPd: DoReadFile: rb.elf" seen on the PXE server and the AC2 doesn't respond to PINGs from any IPs in the DHCP range.  So, any hope to recover this or is it toast?  Thanks.

I recommend installing factory firmware using netinstall.

Netinstall
I had the same thought so I already loaded Netinstall, and it doesn't see the AC2 either, just as Winbox does not see it, so that's why I was hoping some other way of reviving it.  I'll re-read the docs again and see if I missed something in the set up of Netinstall then try the process again.  Thanks.
