Welp, I just had to play around with my router.

I actually had gargoyle installed and working but then I set it up as a bridge, couldn't log in, so I reset it, and now the sys light is permanently on.

I tried all the methods I could find, but nothing worked. I cannot ping or telnet into this damn thing.

So... can anyone here serial cable unbrick a tp-link wr1043nd?

If not, know anyone or any place that can do it for me?
 
Firestart, I am looking at you here...

If no one know how to fix this problem, any suggestions on what to do with a router that won't boot?
Raspberry Pi case? Place to hide weed?
 
Probably not worth anybody's time for a $50 router... to JTAG flash a router you usually have to solder a header on to the board.

How did you reset it, though? Did you do a full 30/30/30 reset?

Yep, tried 30/30/30 reset, and since a variation of openwrt is on it I also tried holding the front button in and telnetting to it... nothing worked so far.
