Anminer s3 bricked after firmware upgrade.....

a firmware upgrade was performed on my s3 and now it seems to be bricked. no way to login to it in current state. not really sure what protocol seems to be at this point Huh

i have contacted Bitmain several times (on bitcointalk, the bitmain site, and via RMA email) about this issue with no response.

aside from using it as a paperweight, anyone have suggestions on how to fix or get it going once again...is this s3 bricked state even fixable ?

thanks in advance for all input and help.

Chances are very less to brick. Did you switch the power supply off while the upgrade was happening?
The possibility is that your miner ip reset back to the default 192.168.1.99.
And try with that ip address If that's not working you may possibly have an ip conflict.
Do a factory reset via the small button in front of your S3.

I tried the factory reset on one machine, yet I can't seem to login. I just get the LuCI black screen. Also, there is a yellow and green light above ethernet port. Any ideas?

I got similar problems if not the same and what i did besides firmware upgrade was after that do a reset to the machine. When i did it it brought the machine to the original ip (192......1.99). This reset was also after change the dns in my machines like i was suggested, i put it the first dns 4.2.2.2 and added a second one 8.8.8.8 (in network - wan).
