Bricked?

[JohnG0GCD]

OK, so a firmware upgrade got interrupted mid cycle and now the 8800AXLr2 shows a green power light for a few seconds, then red (for at least the 10 minutes that I checked). Only the power light is on. No response to the wifi switch.
Before I chuck it in the bin, can anyone confirm my assumption that this unit has got stuck in recovery mode and therefore is unrecoverable?
Thanks
John

Billion_fan,
Thank you SO much. The procedure worked exactly as described and I now have my 8800AXLr2 back with me.
